PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A high-rise fire at the Bud Clark Commons in Northwest Portland left one person hospitalized Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
Just after 3:30 p.m., Portland Fire & Rescue crews responded to reports of a blown out window and flames showing from the apartment complex in the 600 block of Northwest Irving Street.
First arriving crews found a window opened with smoke showing. Officials said sprinklers had also likely been activated.
They then called in reiforcements due to the heat, height of the building and the amount of residents inside.
Searching the complex, firefighters found one resident injured and they were taken to a hospital by ambulance.
The fire was successfully extinguished and under control within 20 minutes.
No further information, including the cause of the fire, has been released at this time.
