News Release

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.
