Fire Destroys Lincoln City Home

On Sunday afternoon, June 15, at approximately 3:15 p.m., North Lincoln Fire & Rescue

was dispatched to a reported structure fire on the 3200 block of Union Avenue in Lincoln

City. The first fire engine arrived on scene within approximately three minutes and found

an attached garage fully engulfed in flames, with fire actively spreading to the home.

Crews immediately initiated an aggressive fire attack to stop the spread and limit damage

to the residence. Responding firefighters encountered several hazards while working to

contain the blaze, including downed power lines and initial reports that someone might

still be inside the home. A search of the structure confirmed that all occupants were

accounted for and safe, allowing crews to fully focus on suppression efforts.

Depoe Bay Fire District responded with mutual aid to assist at the scene, while Grand

Ronde Emergency Services provided district coverage. A total of 20 fire personnel

responded with 3 command vehicles, 3 engines, 1 heavy rescue, 1 water tender, and 2

support rigs.

Lincoln City Police Department and Pacific West Ambulance also assisted

with scene safety and support. Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control within 35 minutes. Crews remained on scene until shortly after 6:00 p.m. to fully extinguish hot spots and begin the investigation into the cause of the fire, which remains undetermined at this time. No injuries were reported to residents or emergency personnel.

Public Safety Reminder:

North Lincoln Fire & Rescue would like to remind everyone of the serious dangers posed

by downed power lines. Always assume any downed line is live. Stay far away, do not

walk near or over the line, and keep others clear of the area. Call 911 to report it

immediately and wait for emergency responders and utility crews to secure the scene.

Your safety is our priority.
