Unoccupied Structure Fire – 4600 Block Of Bisbee Street Klamath Falls, Oregon (Photo)
- 02/20/26
On 02/19/2026, Klamath County Fire District 1 (KCFD1) responded to reports of a possible motorhome fire in the 4600 block of Bisbee Street in Klamath Falls.
The first arriving engine company determined the incident involved a single-wide mobile home with significant fire involvement, rather than a motorhome as initially reported. During the initial size-up, crews observed heavy fire showing from multiple windows and through the roof in the rear half of the structure. Based on these conditions, command upgraded the response to a full structure fire dispatch to secure additional personnel and apparatus.
Firefighters initiated a coordinated exterior fire attack to quickly knock down the bulk of the fire and prevent further extension. Once conditions improved, crews transitioned to an aggressive interior fire attack to contain and extinguish remaining hot spots. These combined suppression efforts slowed fire spread and limited further structural damage.
A primary search of the residence confirmed the structure was unoccupied at the time of the fire. The mobile home was identified as vacant and unsecured. Electrical service to the structure was active at the time of the incident. Natural gas service had previously been shut off by Avista.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation and is currently classified as undetermined. No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported.
KCFD1 reminds property owners of the importance of securing vacant structures and properly managing utilities to reduce fire risk and prevent unauthorized access.

02/11/2026 - Klamath County Fire District 1 (KCFD1) responded to a reported structure fire in the 3700 block of Laverne Avenue in Klamath Falls at approximately 2:38 a.m. this morning.
Multiple 911 callers reported a trailer fully involved with flames visible from the windows. The first arriving KCFD1 engine company observed fire extending from several windows and through the roof of the single-wide trailer. Crews initiated an immediate and aggressive fire attack, successfully knocking down the bulk of the fire and preventing further spread.
One adult occupant was able to escape the trailer by exiting through an emergency egress window at the rear of the residence after being unable to access the primary entry/exit door, which had become engulfed in flames. That individual sustained smoke inhalation and burn injuries and was transported by Klamath County Fire District 1 personnel to Sky Lakes Medical Center for treatment.
Based on information provided by the injured occupant, firefighters conducted a targeted search of the structure and located a deceased individual inside the trailer.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by Klamath County Fire District 1 in coordination with the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office.
Fire Safety Reminder
This tragic incident highlights the critical importance of:
- Ensuring working smoke alarms are installed in every sleeping area and tested monthly
- Maintaining clear and accessible primary exits at all times
- Identifying and practicing secondary escape routes, including emergency egress windows
- Developing and regularly reviewing a home fire escape plan
Early detection and having multiple escape options can significantly increase survivability in a residential fire.
KCFD1 extends its condolences to those affected by this incident.
