Flames devoured a cabin in Cascade Locks Saturday, leaving its residents without a home or possessions.
Two adults and one child were displaced Saturday by a fire that destroyed their home in the 700 block of Northwest Forest Lane in Cascade Locks.
Christina Fehd, Shane Barron and 13-year-old son Logan Barron lost their home and roughly $60,000 in personal possessions in the fire.
Cascade Locks Fire Department, Hood River Fire Department and Stevenson Fire Department responded to the scene Saturday evening. The fire destroyed the cabin and nearby trees before fire fighters could subdue the flames. The fire was contained before it could spread to a neighboring apartment complex.
No injuries were reported, but the family lost nearly all of their possessions and may have lost their cat, which vanished after the fire, said Fehd’s daughter, Ariel Ontiveros.
“We had just the clothing on our back,” said Fehd.
Ariel Ontiveros said she witnessed the fire and alerted the family after calling 911. “We started hearing stuff blow up inside,” said Ontiveros. “By the time I called 911, flames came out of the windows … it just engulfed.”
The American Red Cross of the Cascade Region responded to the scene and provided food, clothing and temporary lodging at a motel in Cascade Locks. The family stayed there for three days before relocating to a friend’s travel trailer.
The 40-year-old cabin was built by Barron’s family, and was well known in the community according to Ontiveros.
A donation fund to help the family has been set up at the Riverview Bank in Stevenson.
Cash donations can be made at the Barron fund at Riverview bank in Stevenson or online at www.gofundme.com/rnq3bfc. For more information, contact Linnea Prowett 503-888-0589.
