Fire-damaged Garage in Portland?

12/9/2021 (Permalink)

Garage fires happen.

We were lucky that the fire was contained to the garage, or the insurance company would have declared the fire damage as a total loss. After the fire was extinguished, the Portland fire department reported that the fire originated from a faulty electrical wire. The smoke and soot from the fire even managed to travel inside the house!
