Fire investigators now know the cause of a two-alarm house fire that occurred in Lake Oswego Monday evening.
At 6:40 p.m., firefighters with Lake Oswego Fire, Portland Fire & Rescue and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue responded to the fire on Southwest Oriole Lane, between Peacock Place and Pheasant Run.
Once at the scene, firefighters found one home destroyed with flames spreading to a second home.
FOX 12 spoke with the homeowner of the second home. He said he knows he's lucky the home did not burn down.
"Considering I dodged a very, very big bullet," said Norman Burns.
The owner of the home that was destroyed was not home at the time of the fire. Investigators say he had left for about 20 minutes to get food.
