Shortly after 5:30am, Clackamas Fire District #1 responded to a residential fire on SE Roots Rd. in Clackamas. Prior to arrival, firefighters could see heavy smoke billowing in the air from a distance; they arrived to find the home fully involved in flames and had spread to a nearby shed. They quickly went to work to put the fire out before it spread to any other structures or homes.
All occupants of the house escaped with no injuries; one firefighter sustained a minor injury.
Clackamas Fire Investigators are on scene to determine the cause of the fire.
Clackamas Fire District #1 would like to remind everyone to have working smoke alarms in every bedroom. They should also be outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and test them monthly.
