Today at about 9:50 am Portland Firefighters responded to the call of
a fire at Buckaroo Thermoseal. This long time Portland area business
is located at 5410 NE 109th Ave.

The first fire company to arrive reported "… a 100 ft. X 200 ft.
building with heavy fire and smoke." The smoke was being generated by
a free burning fire in several different types of roofing materials,
the heavy black column could be seen for miles.

Initial concerns for firefighters were power lines falling, semi-
trucks at the loading dock that needed to be moved, a 5,000 gallon
diesel tank near the fire building, and keeping the fire from
spreading to other businesses from the embers falling from the smoke
column.
