A two-alarm blaze at a lumber facility in the Columbia River Gorge was captured in dramatic photos shared by Hood River Fire & EMS.
The fire at Gorge Building Supply broke out just before 2 a.m. on Friday, according to a news release from Hood River Fire.
Multiple agencies responded to the fire. The release noted that “West Side Fire District was assisted by units from Hood River Fire & EMS, Wy’East Fire District, Cascade Locks Fire, Parkdale Fire, Mid-Columbia Fire & Rescue, as well as Klickitat County White Salmon and Bingen Fire” due to “the size of the buildings, level of involvement and the contents.”
The Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office (OSFM) is working with firefighters at the scene to determine the cause of the fire, the department said in a release.
