Clackamas Fire assisted Gladstone Fire just after midnight at 1640 Amonson Ct Gladstone with a 2-Alarm residential house fire. What appears to have started on the exterior of the home quickly spread to the inside and attic space. The family with 7 children quickly evacuated and call for help. No one was injured and the fire was fully extinguished in under an hour. Crews had to vertically ventilate a difficult pitched roof to remove fire, heat, and toxic gasses so that firefighters could advance inside and extinguish the blaze. The fire is still under investigation and questions can be directed to the Gladstone Fire Department.
