A Roseburg home sustained structural, smoke and water damage as the result of a fire that could be seen from throughout the downtown and southeast Roseburg areas on Saturday night.

Roseburg Fire Department Chief Tyler Christopherson said firefighters responded to the fire in the 1300 block of Northeast Beulah Drive just after 10:00 p.m. Christopherson said callers reported flames showing from outside the structure with fire spreading to nearby trees. It was unknown if anyone was inside the residence.

Firefighters arrived at the scene to find the single-family, two-story residential structure with heavy fire, a fully involved garage fire and multiple explosions. In addition, the fire had spread to nearby brush located between the attached garage and a neighboring residential structure.

Christopherson said firefighters conducted a primary and secondary search to ensure no other residents or victims were inside the residence. Firefighters extinguished both the structure and grass fire and quickly stopped any forward spread to nearby residential structures. The explosions heard upon arrival were determined to be from an oxygen tank and multiple propane tanks. Christopherson said firefighters completed overhaul of the structure and salvaged medical equipment and supplies belonging to the occupants of the property.

One resident was home at the time of the fire and was able to evacuate. Other residents who reside on the property were not home at the time of the fire. One dog did not survive the fire. Other pets are unaccounted for.

Christopherson said the cause of the fire is under investigation. 17 firefighters assisted with firefighting operations. Other agencies assisting included Central Douglas Fire & Rescue, Umpqua Valley Ambulance, Avista Utilities, Pacific Power and the Roseburg Police Department.
