Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue firefighters have been busy today responding to and extinguishing a residential fire this morning and a commercial fire this afternoon.
The first fire was reported at 11:30 this morning at 12715 SW Conestoga Drive in Beaverton. Firefighters arrived to find smoke in a home at that address. After quickly ensuring no one was in the home, they located a small fire burning in a crawl space beneath the home. Despite close quarters under the home's floor, firefighters were able to stop the fire from causing significant damage to any rooms in the home. Fire damage was confined to a small area beneath the floor. No one was injured.
Less than two hours later, TVF&R firefighters responded to another fire in a commercial sandblasting facility at 10000 SW Herman Road in Tualatin. Firefighters from Tualatin and King City quickly located and extinguished a small fire inside the facility that had generated a moderate amount of smoke in the building. TVF&R fire investigators determined that the fire was accidental in nature and was caused by a part of the sandblasting process the business uses. No one was injured and damage was minimal.
