Buddhist Temple Fire in Portland 3-2-13
#1
At 1210 a box assignment was dispatched for a house fire at 13715 SE Mall St. The response was E29, E7, E31 E11, T7, C3 and C4. A second caller said the fire was in the Kinh Xangocchau Buddhist temple so a second truck, Truck 25, was added to the assignment.


On arrival, E29 reported heavy fire in the rear of the building. They led off with their pre-connected 2-1/2" line and made a fast knockdown of the fully involved rear porch. E7 laid two lines from a hydrant at the corner of 136th Ave. and Mall St. while Truck 7 made an aggressive interior attack, pulling ceilings and stopping the fire that was extending into the main part of the building.
