Two Residents Displaced by Morning House Fire in West Linn (Photo) - 09/28/24

Early Saturday morning at 6:45 a.m., callers began reporting to 911 that smoke was coming from a home in the 2100 block of Southwest Windham Oaks Court in West Linn. Based on descriptions to dispatch, the call was upgraded to bring additional personnel and resources to the scene. Initial reports indicated that occupants had exited the home. First-arriving firefighters found heavy smoke coming from the eaves and roof, and upgraded the call to a second alarm for further support.

Heavy smoke swiftly turned into flames through the roof. As firefighters quickly began to work on extinguishing the fire, other crews searched and confirmed that no additional occupants remained in the home. Firefighters worked for 45 minutes within the approximately 6,700 square foot home to bring the fire under control, with assistance from Clackamas Fire and Lake Oswego Fire. Crews remained on scene for more than three hours to assist with salvaging items, monitoring, and extinguishing hot spots.

A TVF&R fire investigator spent the morning on scene working to determine the cause. Her preliminary findings indicate that the fire appears to have originated outside in conjunction with some electrical wiring for landscape lighting. Two residents and one dog have been displaced as a result of this morning’s fire.
