Fire crews faced challenging conditions while fighting a 2-alarm fire overnight at Kadow’s Marina along the Columbia River. No one was hurt in the fire. Firefighters arrived at the marina around 10:30 p.m. Sunday to find two burning house boats, with flames spreading to a third. Clark County Fire officials said there aren’t any fire hydrants in the area, and the limited water supply added to problems with the slippery docks and hanging power lines.

Benton County Fire District four just purchased a new water tender to improve fire protection in the area. A water tender is a piece of equipment that is critical in fighting fires where there is no direct water supply. The district already has one water tender on hand, but this tank acts as a back-up water source for fire calls.
