The Vancouver apartment fire that sent two people jumping for safety from the second story Saturday evening started on the outside of the building, and fire investigators are seeking tips to help them determine the cause of the blaze.
The fire damaged two upstairs and two downstairs units of the Fort Vancouver Terrace Apartments, 4710 Plomondon St., in the city’s Bagley Downs neighborhood, causing an estimated $250,000 damage, Vancouver Fire Marshal Heidi Scarpelli said Sunday.
Investigators are still chasing down leads to determine how the fire began and whether it was intentionally set, she said.
