Fire in laundry
A fire broke out aboard the 'Breeze' with 21 crew members and a cargo of 38000 metric tons of wheat on board, in the Willamette River, Portland, Oregon, on Jan 31, 2023. Fire Crews first responded to the scene just after 3.15 hrs, near the Broadway Bridge on the east side of the river, in pos. 45 32 09 N, 122 40 34 W. The first arriving crews of the Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R) found the fire in a room on the Bravo deck of the vessel. Crew members were applying water on the fire from an exterior position through a window. Members of the PF&R then connected to a hydrant outside of the facility, using over 1000 feet of hose to reach an engine before pumping water into a standpipe along the dock. Crews then were able to connect hoses to pipes along the dock to attack the fire. Personnel of the PF&R then began entering the vessel, extinguishing the fire inside the laundry room. The origin of the fire was a couple of decks down in the laundry room, where the crew started to battle the fire straight away and then raised alarm. No injuries. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
