UPDATE: Portland Fire tells KATU that a fire began in the laundry room on the bravo deck of the ship named the Breeze. The 636-foot-long vessel had just been loaded with 37,000 tons of wheat.

The Breeze's crew performed the initial fire attack before Portland Fire and Rescue arrived. Officials say no major damage occurred and no one was injured.
