Portland Apartment Building Devastated by 4-Alarm Fire and Weather Impacts.
TL;DR
A four-alarm fire engulfed a 60-unit apartment building in the Goose Hollow neighborhood of Portland, causing the temporary closure of Interstate 405 and affecting nearby schools. The cause of the fire is unknown, and it is unclear how many people lived in the building. All residents were evacuated safely, but many lost everything in the blaze. Late last year, city inspectors investigated a complaint about conditions at the 1910 structure, but the owners had fixed a series of code violations.
