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.
