5-ALARM PORTLAND（OR）火力提示撤离

By

UPDATE: Portland Fire & Rescue spokesman Rich Chatman said (http://bit.ly/132PJrx) the fire was so large, the more than 120 firefighters on hand were forced to take a defensive posture. No firefighters were inside the building; instead, they focused on getting water on the outside of the building to prevent it from spreading more than it already had.

Chatman said so much water was needed to fight the fire that crews had to coordinate with the Portland Water Bureau. More than one million gallons of water were used.

The fire was one of the largest in Portland in recent memory. The last five-alarm fire in Portland was at the Thunderbird hotel on Hayden Island in September.

Original Story: Firefighters battled a five-alarm fire at a four-story apartment building under construction in Portland, Oregon.

根据The Oregonian(http://bit.ly/14Af7G7).

More than 90 minutes after the initial 4:14 a.m. call, firefighters continued to battle the burning building, which sent thick smoke billowing across the city’s northeast side and flames more than 30 feet in the air. More than 120 firefighters responded to the fire, which spread to two or three nearby buildings and forced residents to flee.
