Eugene Springfield Fire

Eugene, OR. Eugene Springfield Fire responded to a fast moving, wind driven grass fire near the railroad tracks off highway 99 and Fairfield in West Eugene Monday evening. At 6:22 PM on July 8th, fire crews responded with a mixture of fire engines and brush engines, stopping the fire before it reached neighboring businesses. The fire is under control and investigation.  

Today was the first “red flag warning” of the 2024 fire season. Red Flag Warnings alert fire crews to conditions that may lead to especially dangerous wildfire growth.

To issue a Red Flag Warning, we need low fuel moisture, low relative humidity and wind.  ESF staffs an additional crew during Red Flag Warnings.
