PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - Authorities are investigating after a fire broke out in a carport at the home of Portland City Councilor Candace Avalos early Sunday morning.

Fire officials were called to the scene of the fire on Southeast Caruthers Street, near Southeast 122nd Avenue, around 2:40 a.m. Sunday.

Upon arrival, they found several cars and a carport on fire, and were able to extinguish the blaze.

Investigators estimated the total damage at $125-150,000, with damage to the exterior siding of the home and “complete destruction” of the carport and two cars.

This was my thinking too. Must have been practically landfill already. It makes you wonder if they're even full cars.

My guess is they were a couple old lambos but they couldn't pop the hood to see if anything was actually inside of it.
