Multiple Fires Ravage Downtown Portland, Oregon.

Firefighters rescued four people and a dog from a three-alarm apartment fire in downtown Portland before being ordered to fall back due to the fire's growth. The cause of the blaze is unknown, and it is unclear if there were any casualties. The fire posed dangers for drivers, and transportation officials closed Interstate 405 and surface streets in the immediate area due to low visibility from heavy smoke. Authorities were concerned the building might collapse or the flames might spread to another structure just feet away.
