Portland 3rd Alarm 8-8-14
#1
At 06:01 Portland companies were dispatched to a fire alarm at 205 SE Grand Ave. At 06:02 it was upgraded to a box assignment. Arriving companies reported smoke showing from the 2nd floor and fire showing from the cellar. Subsequent 2nd and 3rd alarms were transmitted. The fire was in the walls of an older 3-story building, so it was a long, tough job and not much to see.
