Second Alarm Apartment Fire Injures And Displaces Two Residents (Photo)
- 03/12/26
Shortly after 3:45 p.m. today, multiple callers to 911 reported heavy smoke coming out of a two-story apartment building on SW Iron Horse Lane in Beaverton. Early reports also indicated that one occupant was injured.
While in route, firefighters could see a column of smoke rising in the distance. Upon arrival fire crews found heavy black smoke and flames billowing out the windows of a unit on the second floor. They also found a patient in front of the building who had fire-related injuries. The patient was treated on scene and then transported to an area hospital for further care.
Firefighters then began an aggressive attack on the fire, first hitting the fire through the windows and then quickly moving interior to perform a search and ensure no other occupants remained in the building. The search confirmed that all occupants had exited the building; however, another occupant of the main fire unit was identified outside the building, treated on scene and eventually transported to an area hospital.
A fire investigator responded to the scene and the cause remains under investigation. Thank you to Beaverton Police, Portland General Electric, Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency, and American Medical Response who provided assistance.
