ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) — Astoria city organizations are seeking temporary housing for several businesses that were damaged in fires last week.
The Daily Astorian reports police have allowed a property manager to enter a building that houses 26 stores and was damaged in the fire, but a cafe has not yet been cleared for entry.
Astoria assistant police chief Alan Oja says private investigators are looking into fault and liability issues related to the fire, which caused an estimated $5 million to $6 million in damages.
Tenants must wait for approval of a safety plan to salvage anything from the damaged businesses.
