3 Displaced After Fast Moving Fire in Manufactured Home

3 adults and their 3 dogs are without a home this afternoon after a fast moving fire gutted their manufactured home in Washington County. A neighbor called 911 just after 12:30 pm reporting seeing flames inside a residence at 17725 SW Independence Way. Tualatin Valley firefighters en route to the call could see a large column of smoke as they approached.

Upon arrival, firefighters worked quickly to search the home and look for anyone inside while additional arriving firefighters attacked the flames and established a water supply. No one was inside the home.

Firefighters from Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue were assisted by firefighters from Hillsboro Fire and Rescue as they worked quickly to extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading to surrounding homes.

No one was injured. The fire's cause is under investigation.
