This evening at 7:18 PM Portland Firefighters were called to a house on fire on the 15100 block of SE Gladstone St. When they arrived firefighters began searching the structure and working to extinguish the fire. One victim was located inside and was brought out of the house. The victim was conscious and was able to walk out, but was suffering from issues related to smoke inhalation. The issues don't appear to be life threatening.
The fire was located on the second floor and was extinguished. A fire investigator was called to determine the cause of the fire. This release will be updated with cause information and any images if and when they are available.
