An attic fire did extensive damage Saturday to a house in Battle Ground, according to a Clark County Fire & Rescue spokesman.
The fire at 17 S.E. 11th St. was reported at 10:39 a.m. by a neighbor, said Battalion Chief Tim Dawdy.
It took firefighters with Clark County Fire & Rescue and Clark County Fire District 3 about 15 minutes to get the blaze under control. The fire spread quickly through the attic, causing considerable damage. It also spread to a kitchen area, Dawdy said.
No one was home at the time of the blaze. The residents had spent the night at a hotel because of a small electrical fire in the attic the day before, Dawdy said.
