VIDEO: A fire early Sunday morning at an apartment northeast of Lloyd Center left at least five units damaged, Portland Fire & Rescue said.
Fire crews responded at 12:23 a.m. to reports of a fire in a dumpster between two buildings at 1923 Northeast Schuyler Street.
Crews arrived to find the dumpster, flanked by two two-story apartment buildings on both sides. The fire had traveled up the siding and into the attic space of both buildings.
Fire officials said that by cutting multiple roof holes, they were able to limit fire damage to only a few units. At least five units are now uninhabitable, they said.
No occupants were injured, but several were displaced, fire officials said. Red Cross is working with the residents who need help.
Fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the blaze.

Gresham Fire honored a fallen colleague one grueling step at a time while also raising funds to save future lives.
Local firefighters joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s 33rd Firefighter Stairclimb Sunday, March 10, in Seattle.
Team Gresham climbed 69 flights (1,356 steps) at the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle. At 788 feet of vertical elevation, it makes it the second tallest building west of the Mississippi. The reward for making to the top: unparalleled sights from the Sky View Observatory. The more than 2,000 participating firefighters all wear their heavy equipment and gear, adding to the challenge. All of the donations and funds raised by the participating teams go directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, in an effort to “climb up to take cancer down.”
