A home sustained extensive structural damage in a fire on Sunday.

Fire Chief Tyler Christopherson of the Roseburg Fire Department said at about 2:50 p.m. personnel responded to the report of a structure fire in the 1900 block of Southeast Kane Street. Christopherson said dispatchers had received information that the home was on fire with smoke and flames visible at the front of the residence. The reporting party stated the all residents and animals had evacuated the home.

Christopherson said firefighters arrived on the scene to find smoke and flames coming from the left, front corner of the home in an open porch area of the residence. Firefighters also found that the fire had spread to a nearby vehicle that was located in the driveway.

Crews quickly extinguished both the vehicle and structure fire. They also completed a primary and secondary search as well as overhaul. Both the primary occupants of the home and their animals were able to evacuate the residence. One vehicle suffered both fire and water damage. The primary home sustained extensive damage, including water damage. Two adults, one dog and two ferrets were displaced due to the fire. None of the adults or animals were injured.

Christopherson said the cause of the fire is under investigation. Sixteen firefighters assisted with firefighting operations. Several other agencies assisted RFD at the fire scene.
