WASHOUGA — Southwest Washington fire officials said a woman has been found dead after a Tuesday afternoon apartment fire.
Family friends told The Columbian that the victim was a 28-year-old Washougal woman. She was not immediately identified by name.
Camas Fire Chief Nick Swinhart said fire crews arrived at a four-unit apartment building to find flames coming out of an upper-story window. He said firefighters brought the blaze under control before it could reach the rest of the building.
The woman’s body was found in the second-floor apartment.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
