Share |

On the afternoon of January 24th, 2012 at 2:19 pm a sprinkler system was activated inside the former Black Angus restaurant which in turn activated an automatic fire alarm. The address is 16323 SE McLoughlin Blvd in Clackamas. The building has been vacant for nearly a year.

Clackamas Fire crews responded and found the inside of the building filled with smoke and several sprinkler heads spraying water. The sprinkler system did operate properly and appeared to extinguish the fire before crews arrived. Because of this, the amount of fire and water damage was minimal. It did take some time to clear this large building of all of the smoke and that kept several firefighters on scene after the fire was extinguished.

Traffic on McLoughlin Blvd. was slow in the area due to the amount of fire apparatus on scene. Clackamas Fire Investigators were on scene working with Clackamas County Sheriffs Deputies at the time of this release. This is likely an arson fire with possible multiple sets all on the interior of the building. This investigation is on-going and more information will be released as it is available.

If anyone has any information regarding this fire is asked to call the Clackamas County Sheriffs Tip Line at 503-723-4949 or use the On Line Tip Sheet.
