HILLSBORO, Ore. — The bodies of two adults have been found inside a house severely damaged in a fire Wednesday morning in the Portland suburb Hillsboro.
Fire department spokesman Bruce Montgomery says investigators are at work, and there’s no information yet on the cause of the fire or the cause of the deaths.
The victims were not immediately identified. Montgomery says they lived in the house.
He says a column of smoke was rising above the house and flames were through the roof when fire crews arrived about 7 a.m.
Montgomery says a three-person rescue team went in, but the members got separated and had to be called back until the firefighters could control the blaze. After that, firefighters found the bodies.
