The fire was reported around 11:30 a.m. at 2601 H. St. They arrived to find a large outbuilding used for storage ablaze, according to a bulletin from the Camas-Washougal Fire Department.
Dispatchers shifted responding units before a firefighter on scene requested two additional engines, according to emergency radio traffic monitored at The Columbian. Another firefighter relayed a short time later that the fire was confined to an outbuilding, but he and other responders were continuing to press their attack on the fire.

No injuries were reported.
