Crews with Central Douglas Fire & Rescue responded to a fire at a home in Green on Monday.

Division Chief – Fire Marshal Josh Waechter said just after 2:30 p.m. firefighters were dispatched to a reported porch fire at a residence in the 100 block of Pear Tree Lane. Waechter said the home’s occupants attempted to extinguish it with a garden hose. Initial crews on scene found a working attic fire where the porch had extended into the attic vents. Crews entered the home and, after pulling the ceiling to gain access, successfully extinguished the fire in 20 minutes. The fire is still under investigation, but it is most likely to have been caused by a discarded cigarette, according to the CDF&R release.

CDF&R responded to the incident with two pieces of fire equipment and two command units, totaling seven paid and volunteer personnel. CDF&R was assisted by the Roseburg Fire Department and Lookingglass Rural Fire District through automatic aid, with an additional three pieces of fire equipment and two command units, totaling a combined effort from the three organizations of 16 firefighters. Pacific Power also responded to the fire.

The adults, children and numerous pets were displaced and are being assisted by the American Red Cross.
