Electrical fire extinguished at Clark College

Vancouver firefighters were dispatched to an electrical fire early Monday morning at Clark College.

Vancouver Fire Department got its initial call about 5:03 a.m., reporting the fire at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way.

The college said in a tweet that there was a small electric fire on the roof of the Culinary Institute.

Penguin Union Building and the attached Gaiser Hall on the college’s main campus in Vancouver “may smell a bit smoky for a bit,” the tweet said. Exhaust fans were being used to clear the air from the Culinary Institute at about 7 a.m.

No classes were canceled because of the fire.

Building inspectors were looking over the damage.

There was a small electrical fire on the roof of the Culinary Institute this morning. It’s out and inspectors are investigating the scene. No classes are canceled & we expect all college functions to operate as normal, except possibly food service.
