This afternoon at 4:26 PM Portland Firefighters were called to 1836 NE Emerson. Arriving fire crews found smoke coming from the basement of a 2 story house. One of the home's occupants was standing out front.
Firefighters entered the house and began searching for other occupants and the fire. The fire was located in a basement bedroom and extinguished. No other residents were found inside the house and no injuries were associated with this fire.
Firefighters will be on scene working to ensure that all burning material is extinguished and that the smoke is cleared from the home. A fire investigator will respond to the scene and will work to determine the cause of the fire. Damage estimates are not yet available.
There are three important things you can do to reduce your risk of injury from a home fire:
1. Make sure your home has properly installed and working smoke alarms.
2. Plan and practice a fire escape plan.
3. In case of a fire, get out and stay out. Going back into a burning home can be deadly.
