Amelia Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Man throws flare in mole hole, ignites neighbor's house By DAVID KROUGH, kgw.com Staff June 24, 2008 VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Paging groundskeeper Carl -- don’t try road flares to kill the varmints. That’s what Vancouver Fire crews said lit up a single-wide trailer Monday at the Vancouver Mobile Terrace on E. Fourth Plain. According to spokesman Jim Flaherty, a neighbor was trying to drop a flare down a mole hole when it ignited 91-year-old Irma Childers’ home Flames crept up through the metal skirting and the wall of the 1968 structure, and neighbors were able to control the fire until crews arrived. The parks’ manager was also able to get inside and lead Childers to safety, crews said. She was unhurt. “Without a doubt, in my 26 years it was pretty unique,” Flaherty said. Crews were able to knock down the fire in about 20 minutes and prevent it from spreading to three nearby units. There was no word on if the mole was harmed.
