A man was injured, and four people and two dogs were displaced by a duplex fire Thursday afternoon in central Vancouver.
Initial reports said the man was pulled from the burning residence at 2607 E. 21st St., and was outside when fire personnel arrived, according to emergency radio traffic monitored by The Columbian.
The first arriving crews rendered him aid, and he was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, Vancouver Fire Department Capt. Raymond Egan said. The man’s condition was unavailable.
The fire was reported around 5:15 p.m. The caller said flames and smoke were coming from the front windows of the residence, according to radio traffic.
