PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- A two-alarm fire spread across two homes in North Portland's Humboldt neighborhood prompted response from emergency crews early Saturday morning.
At around 5 a.m., Portland firefighters responded the 4700 block of North Michigan Avenue on reports of a structure fire.
On arrival, they found flames coming from the back of one house, which were beginning to spread to another home nearby.
The first arriving crews worked to prevent further spread of the flames to the neighboring house, while also putting out the fire in the first home and searching for any residents.
Once the fire spread to the neighboring home, it was upgraded to second-alarm, bringing more crews and equipment to successfully extinguish the blaze.
While there were no injuries reported, two pets were killed in the fire, officials said.
