This morning at 6:30 am Portland Firefighters were called to the Yards apartments on a fire alarm. On arrival firefighters from Station 1 (Old Town) found smoke and water issuing from one of the units. The fire officer called for additional units and the firefighters made entry.
When they got inside firefighters found a man down on the floor next to a couch that had fire damage. The fire had been put out by fire sprinklers prior to firefighters arrival. The man was transported to Emanuel hospital with what appear to be non-life threatening issues.
A fire investigator responded and determined that the fire was caused by improperly discarded smoking material (cigarette). The investigator estimates that this fire caused $10,000 dollars in damage.
