A fire Sunday evening in a bathroom at 1909 Columbia St. caused about $40,000 in damage to a duplex unit, authorities said.
Vancouver Fire Department Capt. Scott Willis said the fire was caused by a ceiling fan malfunction.
No one was home when the fire broke out at 4:58 p.m. Firefighters quickly tamed the smoky fire.
There were no injuries.
A neighbor noticed smoke and called 911.
While the fire was contained to the bathroom, there was smoke damage throughout the duplex, Willis said.
