Explosions cause house fire, displacing 2 residents in Vancouver

Two people are displaced after officials say explosions caused a fire at a two-story home in Vancouver on Thursday morning.

Just after 8 a.m., crews responded to reports of a fire in the 10008 block of Northeast 53rd Avenue, with several callers saying they heard explosions coming from the home. Arriving at the scene, officials said crews found heavy flames coming from the garage and rooms above it, as well as two vehicles in the driveway.

Firefighters worked to extinguish the โ€œwall of flamesโ€ before searching the home, authorities said. No injuries were reported, but two people were displaced due to the damage. The Clark County Fire Marshal is currently investigating the cause of the fire.
