###
At 8:59 p.m. today, callers to 911 reported smoke and fire coming from the front of a home in the 2200 block of NE Sunrise Lane in Hillsboro.
The first arriving fire engine upgraded the response to a first alarm to bring additional resources to the incident based on calls to 911 and a significant amount of fire showing from the residence. As the first crews were arriving, an energized electrical line to the house had dropped across the roadway and crews had to quickly and safely work around the line until it was secured by PGE. Fire crews found fire throughout the single-story residence and attacked the fire and began to search the residence for any occupants. Two occupants were found outside of the residence, and both were evaluated by medical personnel. One of the occupants was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries for evaluation. It was reported that there was a total of six pets in the residence and four were found by firefighters. Unfortunately, all four of those pets did not survive. Fire crews continued to work on extinguishing the fire and ventilating the residence. Crews began to overhaul the structure, and no firefighter injuries were reported.
Hillsboro Fire investigators responded to the incident, and the fire investigation is ongoing. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
A public safety chaplain responded to the scene to support and assist the occupants. A total of two adults were displaced by the fire.
Hillsboro Police, AMR, and PGE assisted Hillsboro Fire & Rescue and Cornelius Fire Department and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue helped answer other 911 calls during the fire.
Hillsboro Fire & Rescue reminds everyone that smoke alarms save lives. Test your smoke alarm once per month and ensure you and your family know your home escape plan and outside meeting place.
