Three people were displaced after a garage sustained significant damage in a fire Tuesday morning.

Crews with the Vancouver Fire Department responded to the fire at a two-story house, 4805 N.E. 112th Circle, around 9:30 a.m., firefighter Darrin Deming said.

Crews found flames coming from the two-bay garage and pulled a line to douse the fire, Deming said. Everyone was already outside the home, he added.

Another crew entered the home to investigate whether or not the fire had extended into the house. The flames didn’t damage the house, but firefighters did rescue a dog from inside.

Firefighters brought the flames under control in about 15 minutes, Deming said.

The house sustained some smoke damage and power was shut off to the house because the electrical panels melted so the residents were displaced, Deming said. Volunteers with the American Red Cross responded to assist the residents.

Sixteen firefighters, including those with Clark County Fire District 6, assisted at the scene.

Investigators with the Clark County Fire Marshal’s Office are looking into what caused the fire.
