November 18, 2022 3:50 a.m.

A home in Northeast Roseburg sustained structural, smoke and water damage in a fire on Thursday.

Fire Marshal Brian Jewell of the City of Roseburg Fire Department said crews responded just before 12:00 p.m. to a property in the 800 block of Northeast Garden Valley Boulevard, just east of Northeast Stephens Street. Jewel said there are multiple homes on the property sharing the same address, but the fire was limited to one house only. A caller said smoke was showing from one structure and it was unknown if the building was occupied.

Jewell said firefighters arrived on scene to find the single-story structure with smoke showing from the backside. Firefighters conducted a primary and secondary search, made an attack to quickly extinguish the fire, and stopped the forward spread to the remaining portion of the structure. Jewell said firefighters remained on scene to complete overhaul. No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. RFD was assisted by several other agencies.
