PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Arson investigators are looking for a person of interest possibly connected to a 4-alarm grass fire in Northeast Portland.
The fire started around 5 p.m. on August 26 near Northeast 85th Avenue and Siskiyou Street. It ripped through about 4 acres, destroying a townhouse, a former gym and dozens of cars.
