PORTLAND -- Soggy, scorched toilet paper fills a Portland warehouse after a three-alarm fire ripped through the building Friday morning. Firefighters spent much of the morning in northwest Portland's industrial district, battling a blaze at a Georgia-Pacific warehouse.

The paper-products plant contained huge stacks of toilet paper and paper towels, which tumbled when hit with water. Forklifts were used to haul the swollen rolls from the smoky warehouse.

The main fire was contained to an area about 35 by 50 feet. However, smoke and water damage was widespread.

No injuries were reported.

[But several survivalist types were treated for depression, lol!]
