Fire in Astoria, OR Destroys 5 Businesses
A 3-alarm fire broke out on Thursday evening in the coastal town of Astoria, OR. The blazes ultimately destroyed five businesses and killed one person who may have been living in one of the buildings.
Firefighters guess the fire began in a floral shop that had not been open in about a year and then spread to a Bank of America, two restaurants, and another local business. The cause of the fire is being investigated.
