Upon arrival, firefighters found a well-involved structure fire with flames showing from the garage and extending into the house.

They were able to stop the blaze and search the residence to make sure no one was in it. Once it was fully extinguished, it was turned over to the Elwha Housing Authority and the tenants.

Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue responded with three engines, two tenders, an ambulance and a command unit. Port Angeles Fire Department assisted with one engine and one command unit.

The cause of the fire was not reported.

Locating rare plant communities is just one of the methods environmental activists use to protect what they call "legacy forests." (Joshua Wright)
