Fire Crews Respond To House Fire In The River Rd Area Of Eugene (Photo) -08/23/24

Eugene, OR.  Eugene Springfield Fire is on scene of a house fire on Formac Ave in the River Rd area of Eugene.  Fire crews were alerted to the fire at 4:43 PM on Friday August 23 with callers reporting a fully involved house fire.  Firefighters arrived to find a fully involved garage fire that had extended to the home.  

The home is located in a county neighborhood within the city that is without hydrants which required the use of a water tender until crews could make access to a hydrant further away.  

Part way through interior firefighting operations, there was roof collapse.  No firefighters were injured in the collapse, but the collapse required the withdraw of interior crews and a change to defensive operations.  

Additional crews worked to address potential extension to nearby homes which were damaged by the fire.

The fire is under control, but is still an active incident and no further details are available at this time.
