Riverview Restaurant Helps Viewpoint Inn & Wedding Party After Devastating Fire…

July 12, 2011

Firefighting crews were called in to battle a fire at the View Point Inn, in Corbett, Sunday afternoon. The fire broke out at the popular hotel and restaurant, at 40301 E. Larch Mountain Road, around 12:15 p.m., according to dispatchers. Witnesses told KGW a couple eating at the restaurant spotted the fire and alerted the owner. When initial attempts to extinguish it failed, crews were called in.

A wedding was scheduled for Sunday afternoon, but the wedding party was escorted off the property when the fire broke out, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. Thanks to the amazing generosity of the Riverview Restaurant, the wedding went off without a hitch. The Riverview Restaurant is stepping up to handle several other Weddings that were scheduled at the Viewpoint Inn.
