A fire at an apartment building in Vancouver’s Harney Heights neighborhood Tuesday night resulted in the death of one man and injured another.
The fire was reported at 6:58 p.m. at 3701 1/2 E. 18th St., Date Park Condominiums.
Several 911 callers reported there was a fire at the two-story, five-unit building; one of the callers said there was an explosion, and some of the apartments’ occupants were trapped inside, said Vancouver Fire Department spokesman Bryan Fredrickson.
The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified a man struck and killed last week while walking across Interstate 205 near the Mill Plain Boulevard interchange.

The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the victim of a Feb. 3 fatal house fire in Northeast Hazel Dell.
Patrick J. Prudhomme’s death was caused by “thermal injury and inhalation of products of combustion.” The medical examiner listed the 75-year-old man’s manner of death as an accident.
Clark County Deputy Fire Marshal Jason Knoble previously told The Columbian that the fire was likely caused by the resident falling asleep while smoking.
Firefighters were dispatched at 3:58 a.m. to the 7900 block of Northeast 30th Avenue. The home is near the boundary of the Vancouver Fire Department’s service area, and a Clark County Fire District 6 engine was the first to arrive at the scene, Vancouver Fire Department spokesman Joe Spatz said. The crew spotted smoke billowing from the front of a manufactured home, he said.
