PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A two-alarm fire at a commercial building in Tualatin late Saturday night was found to be caused by lithium-ion batteries, officials said.
Just before midnight, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue crews responded to a commercial fire in the area of 19400 SW 125th Court after several alarms were activated on the property.
Firefighters said they arrived to find large amounts of heavy smoke pouring out of multiple bay doors of the building and upgraded the incident to second-alarm.
Officials said crews had to use ventilation techniques to filter out the smoke.
After finding no one inside the building, they then moved to the source of the fire to get it under control.
A fire investigator found lithium-ion batteries being stored in the building were the ultimate cause of the fire, authorities said.
