Redmond Fire & Rescue Responds To Structure Fire (Photo) -03/06/25
March 6, 2025, REDMOND, OR- At approximately 10:30am this morning Redmond Fire & Rescue was dispatched to a reported structure fire at 4725 NE Oneil Way. As units were responding, a large column of smoke was visible from a distance. Upon arrival of the first engine, fire crews were met with a large volume of fire and made an agressive attack to keep the fire from spreading to nearby vegetation. Due to the area not having fire hydrants, water tenders were used to bring in water to help control and extinguish the fire. No residents or firefighters were injured during the fire. While firefighters were able to bring the fire under control, a significant portion of the residence was damaged and is uninhabitable. Firefighters were able to locate and save a number of the residents personal belongings.
Due to the close proximity to Oneil Hwy the Oregon Department of Transporation (ODOT) provided traffic control until all fire units were able to safely clear the scene.
Fire investigators are examining the fire scene, interviewing witnesses and examnining fire pattern to determine the origin and cause of the fire. At this time the fire is currently under investigation.
Redmond Fire & Rescue was assisted by Crooked River Ranch, Deschutes County Sheriff's Office and ODOT.
Redmond Fire & Rescue would like to remind residents to always check to make sure your smoke alarms are working properly and that you have and practiced an escape plan.
