    PORTLAND -- A large, elaborate marijuana grow operation was discovered Monday by fire fighters after they put out two-alarm warehouse fire in Southeast Portland.

    Passersby reported flames shooting from the building at 14439 SE Stark Street about 3:30 p.m. The building was listed on property records as a wood shop.

    A second-alarm was called at 3:30 as flames engulfed the building. Fire fighters moved back to a defensive position after the roof started to sag.

    The fire was declared under control at 4:20 p.m. There was concern for a moment about locating a fire fighter whose low-air alarm sounded on his breathing equipment. He was located and safe.

    "After the smoke began to clear, firefighters were surprised to find the remains of a very large and sophisticated marijuana grow operation," said Portland Fire Bureau spokesman Paul Corah. "The grow operation covered much of the 5,000 square foot warehouse."

    Police and federal ATF agents were dispatched. The building was turned into a crime scene. The cause of the fire remained under investigation.
