Tualatin, OR. — Official Release: At 3:28 a.m. on 6/7/2025, multiple callers to 911 woke to alarms sounding and could see flames coming from a multi-family housing complex in the 18400 block of Northwest Chemeketa Lane, in the Bethany area of Washington County. As occupants began evacuating, dispatchers upgraded the call to bring additional resources to the scene.

They found that it had extended into the building, and with the assistance of Hillsboro Fire & Rescue, pulled three attack lines. Additional crews began to search the impacted units and confirmed that all occupants had evacuated. Quick actions by firefighters brought the fire under control within 25 minutes.
One patient was treated at the scene by AMR. In total, three units were impacted by fire, and at least ten residents are displaced. A fire investigator is working to determine the cause.
