Clark Lumber and True Value Hardware, a family-owned fixture in Tualatin for more than 50 years, was destroyed by a fire that erupted in the early morning hours of Sunday.
Crews arrived at the store, 8460 SW Nyberg Street, around 2:30 a.m., TVF&R officials said. When they arrived, they immediately had to battle the blaze from the outside due to the intensity of the fire. The steel frame and concrete building with a metal roof made the building “like an oven as tools, lumber, paints and other contents burned inside,” they said in a release.
