PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Crews battled a fire at a Southwest Portland home that had been converted into a church early Friday morning, authorities said.
According to Portland Fire & Rescue, crews responded to the church on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway just before 5:30 a.m., where flames were shooting from the roof.
As crews worked to douse the flames, officials said the fire spread to shrubs in front of the building.
Officials later said that visibility was good inside the building, so the fire was primarily on the outside.
One person was found in the building and made it safely outside. Authorities said they also rescued a cat from inside.
By 5:45 a.m., PF&R said the flames had been extinguished and crews remained on the scene to clean up.
