A family had just arrived home about 9 p.m. Tuesday when they smelled smoke and called 911.
A wall heater fire at 2501 N.E. 71st St. was quickly extinguished by Vancouver firefighters, said district spokesperson Dawn Johnson.
Five engines and 1 truck from both District 6 and the Vancouver Fire Department responded and had the fire out soon after arriving.
The only damage appeared to be to the wall heater, which is in sunroom, Johnson said.
