Fire in two-story townhome duplex

Department: Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue - [Tualatin Valley, Oregon]


Fire crews from TVFR were called to 14485 SW Barlow Rd in Beaverton shortly after 11:30pm Monday.

Upon arrival firefighters discovered heavy fire involvement on the rear exterior of one of the two units in the two-story townhome duplex.

The fire was spreading to the interior into the attic space. Fire crews made an aggressive attack containing the fire to the one unit, stopping spread to the neighboring attached unit. All the occupants escaped without injury. Two adults and three children were displaced out of the fire unit that sustained substantial damage.

The neighboring family of one adult and three children were also displaced as the power to the building was disconnected. The victims were being assisted by American Red Cross.

TVFR fire investigators are on scene beginning the investigation into the origin and cause of the fire. No damage estimates were available at this time.
