One person was injured in a garage fire that spread throughout the attached house Thursday in east Vancouver’s Mountain View neighborhood, according to the Vancouver Fire Department.

The fire was also burning in the second floor and attic space. The residents told firefighters everyone was out of the house and accounted for. Twenty-one firefighters brought the fire under control in 10 minutes, the news release states. Crews stayed on scene for about an hour salvaging things and checking for hot spots. A person who suffered minor burns was treated by AMR, the fire department said. The Red Cross responded to assist the residents. The Camas-Washougal Fire Department also responded.
