A manufactured home was destroyed in an early morning fire on Saturday.

Fire Marshal Brian Jewell of the City of Roseburg Fire Department said crews responded just after 6:00 a.m. to the blaze in a mobile home park in the 2000 block of Northeast Stephens Street. Jewell said initial reports indicated that the living room was on fire with smoke and flames seen. A caller said all residents had evacuated the home.

Firefighters arrived to find the doublewide manufactured home fully involved with fire venting from the roof and porch area. Firefighters made an aggressive attack and quickly extinguished the fire. They also completed a primary and secondary search as well as overhaul. Two dogs died inside the structure. Two adults and two children were displaced by the fire, but none were injured. The American Red Cross is assisting the family. The home sustained extensive structural and water damage,

Jewell said the cause of the fire is under investigation but it is believed to have been caused by a space heater. Douglas County Fire District No. 2 and several other agencies, assisted at the fire.
