PHOTOS: Flames engulfed a home in Northeast Portland on Thursday night, sending one person to the hospital. Fire crews were called to the two-alarm fire on Northeast 136th just south of Glisan just before 8 p.m. Portland Fire & Rescue said the fire extended from the basement up to the second floor, where fire poured out of the roof of the home and black smoke billowed into the sky. The fire even set off ammunition stored in the home, forcing firefighters to back off. "It was reported to have a thousand pounds of ammunition stored in the garage, so with the significant amount of fire and the reality that there are the explosives on the inside, we pulled our crews out, established a perimeter," said PF&R spokesperson Rick Graves. One person was taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.
