Crews Extinguish Second Alarm Fire (Photo) - 11/11/19

Shortly after 12:00 p.m. firefighters were dispatchd to the Metro South Transfer Station at 2001 Washington St. in Oregon City.  First arriving crews reported a 20' x 20' area of garbage burning in Bay One of the facility with employees and customers being evacuated.  Hoselines were quickly deployed and the sprinkler system was supported to extinguish the fire and keep it from spreading to the buidling.  A second alarm was called due to the potential for fire spread, however the fire was brought under control in 40 minutes and the second alarm units were canceled. In total, 15 employees and approximately 20 customers were evacuated from the facility with no injuries reported. The fire was first reported by Metro staff who noticed some smoke in Bay One. The cause of this fire is undetermined.

For information about what material can be dropped off at the Metro Facilities please refer to Metro's website at oregonmetro.gov.
