A fast-moving, intense fire damaged two homes Saturday night in East Vancouver’s Cascade Park Estates neighborhood. The Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched at 7:52 p.m. to the 16500 block of Southeast First Street after a neighbor reported that two homes appeared to be on fire.

According to the Vancouver Fire Department first arriving crews reached the scene within five minutes and confirmed active fire showing from two homes and a nearby carport.Crews initially deployed hose lines and made an interior attack to try to contain the fire, but firefighters encountered extreme heat and rapidly deteriorating conditions inside the structure. Crews evacuated and shifted to an exterior defensive attack because of the heavy volume of fire.
