July 15, 2025 (Portland, OR) – Today, Portland’s WNBA expansion team proudly unveils its new name and brand identity: the Portland Fire. Based in the global epicenter of women’s sports, the Portland Fire is rooted in the resilience, spirit, and passion for sport that defines the Rose City.

The logo isn't perfect and the name has issues, but the support for Portland's WNBA franchise was overwhelming on the day the Fire officially launched.

The WNBA's return to Portland has been years in the making, but there are several more steps that the team will need to take before its debut in 2026.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Seven large fires are burning across Oregon. The largest, the Cram Fire, is burning 15 miles north of Madras. As of Monday night, it was estimated to be about 20,000 acres in size.

A man has been detained after the four-alarm fire that forced some residents to jump from the Portland building.

Multiple injuries and rescues reported after a large fire erupts at a Portland apartment complex. Video from the scene shows the building fully engulfed in flames.

Four people who lived in the east Portland apartment complex told The Oregonian/OregonLive that a man who also lived in the 3-story building threw a Molotov cocktail into the complex Friday morning. The blaze quickly engulfed the building.

According to Portland Fire & Rescue, crews are fighting the fourth-alarm fire at the apartment near NE 104th Avenue and East Burnside Street.
