Early morning fire intentionally set (Photo) - 11/24/20

Just past 1:30 am this morning, a worker inside the building at 209 NE Lincoln in Hillsboro called 911 to report fire from the storage units adjacent to the building. Moments later, explosions and tall flames were reported by additional calls into 911. The fire was upgraded to a first alarm.

Engine 1 arrived to find an exterior fire and quickly began extinguishment. Engine 5 then entered the building to check for extension of the fire inside while Truck 5 checked the remainder of the exterior. The fire was contained to the area where it was initially reported. No injuries were reported.

The fire investigator determined that the fire was intentionally set. The reported explosions were likely from metal restaurant beverage containers stored outside.

Hillsboro Fire & Rescue was assisted by Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, Cornelius Fire and Rescue, Hillsboro Police, and Metro West Ambulance.
