Official Update From the Fire Bureau
In a brief post on X, Portland Fire & Rescue confirmed that Clackamas 301 had "initiated fire suppression efforts" and that Portland's Truck 25 was moving in to access the scene. The update served as the first public confirmation of which units were on site and did not include additional operational details.
Which Units Are Responding
Clackamas 301 refers to a company from Clackamas County Fire District No. 1's Town Center station, listed at 11300 SE Fuller Road in Milwaukie in public station records. Portland's Truck 25 is the ladder company out of PF&R's Woodstock station, according to Portland Fire History.
Mutual Aid and Local Context
Portland Fire & Rescue and neighboring Clackamas units routinely operate under mutual-aid protocols when an incident needs extra resources or crosses jurisdictional boundaries, according to department guidance on the City of Portland site. That framework lets truck companies like PF&R's 25 and Clackamas engines coordinate access and suppression on larger or more complex scenes.
What We Know Now
So far, Portland Fire & Rescue's initial public update has not included any information about injuries, evacuations, or the cause of the fire. We will continue to follow official releases from PF&R and Clackamas County responders and will share more details as they are confirmed.
