Firefighters battled a large warehouse fire in North Portland Wednesday morning.
Dense columns of smoke billowed into the sky from the one-story building housing Royce’s Prop Shop/RPS Events, an events-services company.
Crews responded to the 5400 block of North Albina Avenue at about 6:30 a.m. Some 35 units were on the scene, pouring water on the structure.
An off-duty officer reported the fire, said Portland Fire & Rescue spokesperson Rick Graves.
Lumber in the prop shop in a cinderblock building fueled the blaze, Graves said. “Imagine the largest pizza oven you’ve ever seen,” he said, referring to the conditions in the building.
The fire was quickly brought under control. No injuries have been reported, and none of the surrounding buildings were significantly damaged, Graves said.
Roads in the area continue to be blocked off.
