Lebanon, Oregon
Lebanon Fire District Firefighters responded to a reported structure fire in the 31900 block of Weldon Road during the mid-afternoon of Monday, December 29th. En route dispatch gave information of the homeowner arriving and hearing smoke detectors alarming and saw melting of the window blinds.
The first arriving was the on-duty Battalion Chief who became the incident commander and witnessed light wispy smoke coming from the eves of the home. The IC initiated his 360 walk around checking at the front door for occupants and fire conditions. At the front door, he encountered gray, non-turbulent smoke and quickly shut the door to keep the fire from growing anymore. Due to the location and length of the driveway, the first due engine had to lay over 400 feet of supply line which was supplied by multiple water tenders due to the fire being in the rural area. Those firefighters quickly got into action, making entry through the front door and locating the fire in the kitchen area of the residence. While crews extinguished the blaze, more firefighters entered the building completing searches and confirming the fire was contained to the kitchen with no extension into the attic space or walls. No injuries to occupants or firefighters were reported.
Lebanon Firefighters responded with 2 engines, 3 water tenders, 1 ALS ambulance, 1 heavy rescue and 1 rehab unit for firefighters. During the blaze, the district responded to multiple 911 calls for service depleting all its resources.
The Lebanon Fire District would like to remind residents of the importance of working smoke alarms. For assistance with smoke alarms in your home, contact our Fire & Life Safety Division at (541) 451-1901.
