Portland Fire & Rescue Investigators have determined the cause of the fire to be smokers carelessness. The value of the structure is estimated to be $90,000 and the loss due to fire damage is $50,000.
One significant factor in the rapid rate of spread and intensity of this fire was that the home was undergoing a complete remodel. When walls are no longer protected by drywall or plaster, fire can travel quickly to every part of a structure through void spaces and can quickly consume entire home. Compounding this are the exposed flammable structural members which are normally shielded from fire and heat by finished wall. Portland Fire & Rescue recommends taking additional precautions when your home is being remodeled such as maintaining working smoke detectors throughout the duration of the project.
