A structure fire displaced a Roseburg family on Thursday.

Fire Marshal Brian Jewell of the Roseburg Fire Department said at 12:20 p.m. firefighters responded to the fire in the 1500 block of West Lookingglass Road. The initial report said all residents had evacuated the home.

Jewell said when crews arrived, they found a single-story residence with smoke and fire showing from the laundry room. Firefighters conducted a primary and secondary search, made an interior attack to extinguish the fire and completed overhaul. Jewell said the home sustained structural, smoke and water damage. The family included two adults and three children. The American Red Cross is assisting the residents.

A fire investigator was on the scene and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. Several other agencies assisted RFD at the fire.

Jewell said RFD would like to remind citizens about the importance of having working smoke alarms installed in the home. He said homeowners should consider a home fire sprinkler system for increased protection.
