PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A person has been hospitalized after a house fire in the Eastmoreland neighborhood Sunday morning.

Just before 9 a.m., Portland Fire & Rescue crews responded to the 3600 block of Southeast Lexington Street on report of the fire.

Officials say the fire was extinguished quickly and crews worked fast to ventilate the structure.

However, AMR crews on the scene took a resident of the home to the hospital due to smoke exposure.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
