Eugene Springfield Fire Responds To Apartment Fire Near Downtown Eugene (Photo) - 08/02/26

EUGENE, Ore. Eugene-Springfield Fire responded to a fourth-floor apartment fire near downtown Eugene on Saturday evening, August 1.

Fire crews were initially dispatched to an automatic fire alarm just before 7:30 p.m. at an apartment building located at 599 E. Broadway. Immediately after the fire alarm activated, multiple callers contacted Central Lane 911 to report smoke in the building. Based on those reports, dispatchers upgraded the response from an automatic fire alarm to a full first-alarm high life hazard assignment before firefighters arrived.

A first-alarm high life hazard response brings five fire engines, two ladder trucks, two chief officers, and two ambulances to the scene.

Upon arrival, firefighters found numerous residents evacuating the building and received reports of a possible burn victim on the fourth floor. Crews entered the structure while the fire alarm was sounding and encountered moderate smoke conditions on the fourth floor. Firefighters located and contained the fire to a single apartment.

One occupant sustained serious burn injuries and was transported to a local hospital. Five additional residents were evaluated for possible smoke inhalation but ultimately declined transport. Two other individuals experienced unrelated medical issues while firefighters were on scene; both were evaluated, their conditions resolved, and neither required transport.

Due to the number of residents in the building, the smoke conditions, and the number of patients requiring evaluation, incident commanders requested a second alarm, bringing additional firefighters and ambulances to the scene.

The building’s automatic fire sprinkler system helped contain the fire to the apartment of origin while firefighters completed extinguishment and addressed smoke and water impacts throughout the building.

The fire damaged one apartment unit. The building, known as Bridges on Broadway, is a Homes for Good property. Homes for Good staff are assisting displaced residents with temporary housing.

At this time, no additional injuries have been reported, and no firefighters or other emergency responders were injured. The condition of the burn victim is currently unknown.

In total, the response included 11 fire companies, three chief officers, four ambulances, one support unit, one EMS officer, and deputy fire marshals. The incident required more than 50% of Eugene-Springfield Fire’s on-duty resources, which is common for significant emergencies involving large, high life hazard buildings.

While crews remained committed to the incident, fire crews from across Eugene Springfield repositioned throughout the community to maintain timely emergency response coverage for concurrent incidents.
