## Resource

A deadly fire erupted early Sunday in Gresham, claiming one life and sending flames roaring through a vacant commercial building with a history of arson and structural hazards. Firefighters battled the blaze—already ripping through the roof at 4 AM—while embers ignited nearby grass fires, which were swiftly contained. The building, long fenced off due to prior fires and dangerous holes in its structure, proved a nightmare for crews. Authorities are now investigating the cause and identifying the victim, with no definitive answers yet. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
