Description
Portland Fire & Rescue responded to a large apartment fire near Southwest Taylor Street and 14th Avenue on Tuesday. A spokesperson for the fire department told KGW that four people were rescued, but crews had to pull back before the search was complete. One firefighter was injured when a window blew out and a piece of glass struck his forehead, Portland Fire & Rescue said.
Officials told KGW that the age of the 113-year old building made it more vulnerable to fire. The Portland Bureau of Development Services confirmed that they'd received complaints about the building from residents, and also that an inspector had been on-site Monday, one day before the building caught fire.
