$24 Million Fire in Portland - 2-29 to 3-4, 2016

[Guest]

Sorry for the delay. I have been under the weather.

On Monday, Feb. 29, at 22:28, a box was transmitted for a fire at the Sundance Marina at 570 NE Tomahawk Island Drive. A few minutes after Chief Heesaker arrived he transmitted a 2nd alarm at 22:37. When the 75,000 sq. ft. metal building was heavily involved, a 3rd alarm was transmitted at 22:53. The building stored about 350 boats, stacked 4 high. Since the danger of collapse was high,

no firefighters were allowed inside the building. After 40 minutes, with little progress, a 4th alarm was transmitted. A large showroom that was connected to the main structure was only slightly damaged.

Companies were on the scene for several days extinguishing hot spots.
