The Portland Fire Investigations Unit (FIU), composed of personnel from the Portland Police Bureau and Portland Fire & Rescue, is asking for the public's help to identify and locate a person of interest in an arson case.
On Saturday, April 11, 2025, at approximately 10:45 p.m., first responders were dispatched to a fire in the 100 block of Northeast 100th Avenue. The fire, at the future site of a recovery facility, grew to a third alarm response before firefighters were able to get it under control. Through investigative practices, FIU determined this fire to be an act of arson. At this time, investigators have no evidence to suggest the facility was specifically targeted.
