A vacant house sustained extensive structural and water damage in an early morning fire Tuesday.

Fire Chief Monte Bryan of the City of Roseburg Fire Department said just before 4:00 a.m. personnel responded to the blaze in the 800 block of Northeast Garden Valley Boulevard. Bryan said crews made an extensive exterior attack of the structure and extinguished the fire. The primary and secondary search found no victims and overhaul was completed. One vehicle suffered heat damage.

Bryan said a fire investigator was on the scene and the blaze remains under investigation. Nineteen firefighters from RFD and Douglas County Fire District No. 2 assisted with operations. Several other agencies also responded to the scene.

A City of Roseburg Police report said a warming fire was about fifteen feet away from the house when it became engulfed.
