Eugene, OR. Eugene Springfield Fire responded to a house fire on Cross Pl North of Railroad Blvd in West Eugene Saturday afternoon. Firefighters were called by a passerby who observed smoke from the crawlspace of the home at 12:29 PM on November 16th. Firefighters from Station 2 in the Whiteaker neighborhood arrived in three and a half minutes after dispatch along with another engine, truck and battalion chief. Crews declared a working fire and requested the balance of a first alarm bringing an additional two engines, a second chief, ambulance and EMS supervisor. Firefighters immediately went to work flowing water in the crawl space while the truck accessed the structure and used saws to open the floor area to access the seat of the fire. Despite challenging access, the quick response and skill of responding firefighters saved the home and contents. Preliminary information suggests a malfunctioning wall heater ignited the fire. There were no injuries reported.
