Firefighters snuffed out a house fire Wednesday night in Vancouver’s Riverview neighborhood that apparently started in the home’s bedroom.
Crews were called shortly before 9 p.m. to the fire, at 6290 S.E. Riverside Drive. When they arrived, they saw smoke coming from the house and discovered a fire in a corner bedroom on the first floor of the home, according to emergency radio traffic.
Firefighters negotiated a driveway — described as longer than 100 feet — while working to secure a water source, according to radio traffic. They had the fire knocked down by 9:25 p.m.
A fire marshal was called to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire.
The ranch-style house is owned by Patrick Copenhaver, according to Clark County property records.
