Springfield, OR. Eugene Springfield Fire responded to two fires in Springfield overnight.
INCIDENT 1
At approximately 9:00 p.m. Thursday, multiple 9-1-1 callers reported a house fire with explosions in the 1300 block of F Street in Springfield. Engine 4, stationed at 5th and Q Streets, arrived within five minutes of dispatch and reported heavy fire involvement with flames visible from the front porch and multiple windows.
Engine 4 applied water from the exterior; however, hoarding conditions in both the yard and inside the structure initially prevented interior access. Engine 4 crews were able to quickly halt the spread of fire through sustained exterior water application. Engine 4 and Tower 3, subsequently gained entry through a side door to conduct a thorough victim search and continue fire extinguishment.
No victims were located inside the structure. The occupant was transported to a local medical facility for evaluation of possible smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
INCIDENT 2
Shortly after midnight, Eugene Springfield Fire units were dispatched to a reported RV fire in the 700 block of 28th Street. Battalion 3 and Engine 14 arrived on scene in under two minutes to find a working fire with two occupants who had self-extricated from the structure prior to crews' arrival.
Engine 14 initiated a fire attack inside the home with Tower 3 providing assistance. Crews discovered fire beneath the floor that had compromised multiple propane tanks, creating an unstable floor condition. In the interest of crew safety, firefighters exited the structure and transitioned to an exterior attack to control the propane fire before continuing suppression efforts on the structure.
Both occupants were evaluated for injuries on scene. The American Red Cross responded to provide temporary housing assistance. Two dogs were found deceased during the post-fire search of the structure. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Eugene Springfield Fire Responds To Two Alarm Apartment Fire In Eugene (Photo)
- 04/03/26
Eugene, OR. Eugene Springfield Fire responded to a two-alarm apartment fire near downtown Eugene on Friday afternoon. Around 2:30 PM on April 3rd, area residents reported smoke and fire from a first floor apartment in a two story apartment building located in the 1300 block of Lawrence St. There were multiple callers reporting the fire and the first arriving crews identified heavy fire and smoke on arrival with the fire already extending to a second floor apartment.
With access issues and heavy fire, a second alarm was called to ensure sufficient resources to search for potential victims and engage fire on multiple floors. Truck 1 arrived first and entered the fire occupancy to search and slow the spread of fire with their “cans”. Cans are 2.5 gallon water extinguishers that are often used by crews staffing apparatus that do not have pumps and hoses. The can is capable of knocking fire down and protecting the crew when searching ahead of a hose line.
Thanks to an aggressive fire attack, crews brought the fire under control containing the fire to the original unit and one unit above. Additional adjacent units did experience moderate smoke damage. There were no injuries to report and the cause is under investigation.
