Fires Near Beaverton, In Newberg, Stretch TVF&R Resources.

BEAVERTON, OR — It was a busy stretch for firefighters from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. Two fires in different parts of Washington County at roughly the same time stretched resources a little thin.

The first call was for a house fire in Newberg. It was around 5:20 a.m. when they arrived on Sheridan Street. Firefighters were greeted by an officer from the Newberg-Dundee Police Department who told them that all of the residents had been safely evacuated.

While flames had spread throughout the interior and to the garage, TVF&R firefighters were able to bring it under control within about 15 minutes. Dundee Fire helped with the mop-up operation.

There were no injuries though the three residents and their cat had to find another place to stay because of the smoke and fire damage.

Meanwhile, at around the same time, other TVF&R firefighters were on Sedona Lane in the Quatama neighborhood outside of Beaverton.

Two occupants of a townhouse on the street heard their smoke alarms and quickly realized that they were trapped on the second floor. Smoke and flames were working their way toward them.

The residents were able to safely jump out of a window to the street below. Both were treated for non-life threatening injuries and taken to a local hospital.

This family also had a cat. The cat was not injured.

Firefighters were able to quickly bring the flames under control and evacuate other residents of the townhouse.

The couple and their cat have to find somewhere else to stay because of the damage to the apartment.

The cause of both fires is under investigations.
