News summary

On the morning of June 16, a fire broke out on railroad tracks near the South Block Apartments in downtown Salem, Oregon, causing a large black cloud of smoke visible across the city. Salem Fire Department promptly responded and successfully knocked down the fire, which was located near 315 Commercial Street Southeast, close to Riverfront Park and Minto-Brown Island Park.
