Crews with Central Douglas Fire & Rescue responded to a structure fire in DIxonville on Tuesday.

A CDF&R release issued Wednesday night, said the fire in the 1000 block of Buckhorn Road was called in at approximately 10:40 a.m. Upon arrival, firefighters found a single-story home with fire coming out of several windows and smoke coming from all the eaves.

The first engines initiated an offensive attack and conducted a primary search of the home. The occupants were not at home when the fire started. One pet kitten was saved from the fire. The fire appeared to have started from a heat lamp that was used for warming baby chickens.

CDF&R responded with three fire engines, one water tender and one command vehicle. The Roseburg Fire Department, Glide Rural Fire Protection District, Umpqua Valley Ambulance, Pacific Power and Avista Utilities assisted at the fire scene.
