A home on Pinehurst Drive in Newberg was heavily damaged by a fire shortly before noon Tuesday.
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue equipment and personnel found flames and smoke coming from the garage when they arrived. The blaze quickly spread to the living area of the home.
The fire was controlled in about 20 minutes after the first crew arrived. Seven adult occupants escaped safely, thanks in part to smoke alarms. A dog also survived.
Victims are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross.

Aggravated assault: A disagreement between two coworkers at a business in the 600 block of Whitney Avenue went from verbal to physical to nearly homicidal very quickly. The fight first crossed the verbal/physical threshold when one of the men punched the other. Not satisfied with one punch, the assailant then grabbed a box cutter and began chasing his victim around the business. Luckily for all parties, the manager stepped in and was able to get the box cutter from the man. Though being escorted out of the building by the manager, the man’s temper was still raging and he decided it was hammer time. Literally. He grabbed a sledgehammer and attempted to go after his victim one more time. The manager was able to get the sledgehammer away and get the man off the premises. Despite being punched, nearly sliced and almost hammered, the victim declined prosecution.
