Corbett Fire District 14 re-
sponded to a fire Jan. 17 at
Shirley’s Tippy Canoe Restau-
rant, 28242 E. Historic Colum-
bia River Highway in Trout-
dale.
The call came in at 5:03 a.m.
by a passerby. Multnomah
County Sheriffs Deputies were
first on scene and reported
heavy fire from the second
floor windows of the unoccu-
pied building.
Corbett Fire dispatched
three engines, two 3,000-gal-
lon water tenders and a chief
officer; Gresham Fire and Res-
cue assisted with an engine,
a 104-foot ladder truck and a
battalion chief and Clackamas
County Fire District 1 assisted
with a 3,000-gallon water ten-
der. There were no firefighter
injuries.
A nearby 200 gallon per min-
ute fire hydrant was supple-
mented by a water shuttle with
the 3,000-gallon water tenders.
Gresham’s Truck 71 was able to
apply water from its aerial lad-
der making fire control much
quicker.
Unfortunately, with such an
advanced fire on arrival, the
structure and its contents are a
total loss. A loss estimate is not
yet available.
Gresham Fire and Rescue
investigators are leading the
investigation. The fire’s cause
has not been determined at
this time.
