2 houses on fire, Portland, 11-23-13

[Guest]

Shortly before 11PM Dispatch started to receive calls for a fire around 69th Ave. and Woodstock St.

When Eng. 25 arrived they reported heavy fire from the front of a house and 3 or 4 minutes later they reported that fire had extended to a second house and they ordered a 2nd alarm.


Complicating matters was the strong wind and the house electrical feed wire had fallen across the lawn and was arcing badly.
