EARLY EVENING HOUSE FIRE
Sweet Home Fire Dist.
On April 2nd at approximately 6:25 pm Sweet Home Fire District crews were dispatched to a home on Wiley Creek Dr for a reported house fire. The first arriving chief officer found heavy smoke coming from the eves of the double wide manufactured home. The fire grew rapidly and spread throughout the structure due to wind and heavy fire load. The first arriving engine attacked the blaze from two sides of the structure trying to prevent the fire from spreading to a nearby travel trailer and adjacent carport. A second alarm was quickly called bringing an engine and water tender from Brownsville Rural Fire District; two engines, a medic unit and a chief officer responded from Lebanon Fire District to assist at the fire and to cover the city. Sweet Home Fire District responded with a chief officer, two engines, two water tenders, a brush rig and a medic unit. A total of twenty firefighters were on scene. The double wide was a complete loss and with some damage to the travel trailer. Residents reported to fire crews they believed the fire started in an electric dryer being used in the home. No injuries reported.
