One person was injured in a garage fire that spread throughout the attached house Thursday in east Vancouver’s Mountain View neighborhood, according to the Vancouver Fire Department.
Firefighters responded at about 1:30 p.m. to 819 S.E. Olympia Drive to find a large fire showing from the garage of the two-story house, the department said in a news release. The fire was also burning in the second floor and attic space.
The residents told firefighters everyone was out of the house and accounted for.
Twenty-one firefighters brought the fire under control in 10 minutes, the news release states. Crews stayed on scene for about an hour salvaging things and checking for hot spots.
