News Release

Lebanon Firefighters Battle Shop Blaze (Photo) -02/12/24

Lebanon Oregon,

Lebanon Firefighters responded to a reported building fire in the 29800 block of Santiam Terrace Rd. late Sunday evening. When the first crews arrived, they reported a 40x60 shop fully engulfed. Firefighters quickly deployed hose lines and a water appliance called a Blitz fire to combat the blaze. When the incident commander arrived, he immediately called for a 2nd alarm to bring additional water tenders to the scene from outside agencies to assist. Firefighters made a defensive fire attack due to the amount of fire and building collapse. During the battle, explosions could be heard from propane tanks and ammunition that was being stored. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as the firefighters continued to extinguish the fire into the early morning. Firefighters estimated a flow of 60,000 gallons of water used to combat the blaze while using six water tenders to shuttle the water. Unfortunately, the homeowners lost everything they stored in the building as well as a vehicle that was parked just outside. Homeowners also lost items that were stored in a nearby 40-foot Conex container. The cause of the fire is under investigation with Lebanon’s fire investigation team (LFIT).

Lebanon Fire District responded with 22 personnel on three engines, three water tenders, one ALS medic unit, one heavy rescue, one rehab unit for firefighters and three chief officers. Lebanon Firefighters were supported on scene by Sweet Home Fire and Ambulance District, Scio Fire District, Brownsville Fire District, and the Linn County Sheriff’s Office. Albany Fire Department along with Tangent Fire District covered additional 911 calls for our citizens.

Lebanon Firefighters would remind its residents to keep electrical cords tangle free to help prevent possible fires. Remove electrical cords from under a carpet or rug. It is a fire hazard! Do not overload power strips. This can cause a fire. Be Safe Lebanon.
