By Bob Heye and KATU Web StaffBEAVERTON, Ore. - A two-alarm fire destroyed a four-plex in Beaverton Thursday afternoon. The blaze broke out around 1:15 p.m. at 13360 S.W. 17th Street. When firefighters arrived, they found heavy flames and quickly called a second alarm. Later, while inside trying to fight the fire, a portion of the roof collapsed and they had to get out. There was only one person, a woman, inside the four-plex. Police and neighbors helped her get out safely. According to neighbors, several kids are normally there, but happened to be at a neighbor's house at the time. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. One neighbor reported hearing an explosion. A total of 13 people have been displaced. |
