Lebanon, Oregon
Lebanon Fire District firefighters were dispatched to a large natural cover fire in Lacomb on Friday August 20, 2026. The fire located in the 41000 block of Baptist Church Drive was called in by neighbors at 1146 am. When The Battalion Chief arrived, he found the fire had been contained to approximately one-half acre and extinguished by the property owner and neighbors. When additional firefighters arrived, they began mopping up the hot spots that were in the burned area, making sure the fire was completely out. Crews were on scene for about one hour completing the task. The cause of the fire was most likely a spark striking a rock while equipment was swathing the field. No injuries were reported and no damage was done to the equipment.
Lebanon Fire District would like to remind the community of the continued high fire danger in the county and across the state. Currently Linn County is in a county wide burn ban which includes all backyard piles, barrel burning, charcoal fires and recreational fires. These restrictions remain in effect until the Linn County Fire Defense Board and ODF lift restrictions, which may not happen until significant rains. Be Safe!
