Redmond Fire & Rescue Responds to Structure Fire
November 27, 2023-REDMOND, OR- On Friday November 24 at approximately 9am, Redmond Fire & Rescue was notified of a possible structure fire in the 6200 block of SW Harvest Ave. First arriving fire crews arrived to a manufactured home with heavy fire through the roof. Due to the amount of fire, fire crews aggressively fought the fire from the exterior. Because the home was located in an area where fire hydrants are not available, water tenders shuttled in water.
There was no one home at the time of the fire and no pets were inside. The homeowners were assisted by the Red Cross.
Fire investigators determined that the cause of the fire was due to unattended cooking. The estimated loss to the structure is approximately $500,000.
Never leave cooking food unattended. If you must leave the kitchen, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove. Move items that can burn away from the stove. This includes dishtowels, bags, boxes, paper and curtains. Also keep children and pets at least three feet away.
Redmond Fire & Rescue was assisted by Bend Fire & Rescue and Cloverdale RFPD.
