The remains of a man were found after firefighters put out a fire at a duplex in Aloha early Sunday morning.

Multiple people called 911 at 11:52 p.m. Saturday after hearing an explosion from a duplex on the 19000 block of Teddi Rose Ct., according to Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue.

Neighbors were told to evacuate their homes before firefighters arrived.

When crews got to the duplex, they worked on putting out heavy flames on the exterior of the duplex, TVF&R said. After working their way to the second floor, crews found the remains of the man.

The identity of the man was not revealed, pending family notification.

The cause of the fire has not been determined.

Three people living in the adjoining unit were displaced from their home and were being assisted by the Red Cross.
