8A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2018 Photos by Luke Whittaker/Chinook Observer An apartment fire in Long Beach prompted evacuation of tenants and required action by a large contingent of firefighters. Fire: ‘Housing is already tough on the Peninsula’ Continued from Page 1A “I was out walking my dog and I saw smoke and flames,” Kruse said. “I got a pitcher of water and tried to put it out but it wouldn’t go out. I didn’t know where it was coming from. I went inside and felt the wall and it was hot, so I got my dog and we all came out here and called the fire company.” Shane Ahlers, 33, was home alone in his room unaware of the blaze when a firemen nearly kicked his door alerting him he was in danger. “Sh** happens,” Ahlers said as he watched fireman work to contain the fire from a safe dis- tance. He added that the Christ- mas gifts he purchased were likely gone due to damage from the fire, smoke and water. As heavy smoke billowed from the building, more con- cerned tenants began to arrive on the scene, some not immediately knowing the status of their fam- ily or pets inside. “When I got here smoke was pouring out and it scared me to death,” said Athena Wildenborg, who lived there with her 17-year- old son, a dog and a cat. All three were safely evacuated. “The most important thing is that my son and pets got out,” Wildenborg said. “Everything else can be replaced.” Jazmyn Comito, 31, was at work at the Best Western Motel when she heard about the fire. She stood with fellow tenant Trace Fowler in the parking lot and wondered what tomorrow will bring. Others hugged their children as they talked about the potential fallout from the fire. “We’re all close here,” Comito said. “It’s really rough. Housing is already tough on the Peninsula. If people can’t stay here, where are they going to go? Susie Goldsmith, co-owner of nearby Boreas Inn, offered to help evacuees in need of emer- gency lodging. No one from the apartments had taken up the offer as of Tuesday afternoon, she said. The Southwest Washington Chapter of the American Red Cross was on the scene, attempt- ing to address short-term housing needs.
