PHOTOS: Portland Fire & Rescue was on the scene of a two-alarm fire in the Belmont neighborhood. Crews were dispatched to the 400 block of Southeast 30th Avenue near Stark Street just after 4:45 a.m. Friday. A second alarm was added shortly after 5 a.m.

“This is a defensive fire with too much fire to make entry,” Portland Fire said on X. Downed power lines also made it difficult for firefighters to attack the blaze.

Neighboring homes were evacuated as firefighters were concerned about the fire spreading. Portland Fire removed the siding from a nearby home to check for any possible fire extension. KATU’s Darryl Burke reports that one firefighter has suffered minor injuries. Fire officials believe the home had been abandoned.
