Firefighters are responding to several blazes around Vancouver this afternoon, with a fire off Fruit Valley Road currently receiving the most attention.
Vancouver Fire Department crews were dispatched at 2:32 p.m. to 4808 N.W. Fruit Valley Road for a brush fire with an exposure.
The address is associated with Frito Lay, and witnesses say plumes of smoke rising from behind the building can be seen from the road.
Helicopters are dropping water or fire retardant on the fire, according to emergency radio traffic monitored at The Columbian.
As of about 4:50 p.m., crews were working to prevent the fire from jumping over Northwest Lower River Road, according to the radio traffic. Firefighters were dousing the shoulder of the road with water.
Washington Department of Natural Resources officials are also on scene helping with containment.
Crews have also been dispatched to vegetation fires in the areas of North Andresen Road and Idaho Street in central Vancouver, and another in the 15500 block of Southeast Evergreen Highway, east of Interstate 205 along the Columbia River.
