An overnight fire caused approximately $60,000 in damage to a Roseburg home early Wednesday.
Fire Marshal Monte Bryan of the Roseburg Fire Department said just before 12:30 a.m. crews were dispatched to a residential structure fire in the 1700 block of Northwest Otie Street. Bryan said residents reported the fire after being awakened by a working smoke alarm. He said they got out of the home and notified neighbors of the fire.
Bryan said firefighters arrived on the scene to find heavy fire venting from a south window and causing exposure to the south, neighboring residential home. Pressurized black smoke was also seen coming from the attic vents. Firefighters made an interior attack to extinguish the fire, conducted a primary and secondary search and completed overhaul. Bryan said the primary home sustained structural and water damage. The neighboring home suffered damage to the exterior siding. No one was injured but one adult, two teenage children, and a dog were displaced due to the fire. Two pet hamsters did not survive.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
