Re: Prineville Freight Depot Fire

On August 22, 2025, at approximately 1122 hours, Crook County Fire and Rescue was dispatched for a fire at the Prineville Freight Depot.  Initial reports were that a fire had started in an outside storage area, which contained a large quantity of plastic byproduct from the facilities operation.  The fire caused significant damage to the overhead electrical supply to the facility.  Fire crews were able to keep the fire from reaching any buildings on the site, and as a result, no structures were damaged.

Crook County Fire and Rescue was assisted on scene by Jefferson County EMS, Crook County Sheriff’s Office, City of Prineville Police, City of Prineville Public Works, and City of Prineville Freight Depot Staff.

The investigation is ongoing; however, the fire has been determined to be accidental.  No additional information is being released at this time.
