Residential House Fire - 2nd Alarm (Photo) -06/03/25
On Monday, June 2, at 12:02 p.m. Jefferson Fire District was dispatched to a structure fire in the approximate area of Emerald Green Lane off Jefferson-Scio Rd. A caller who lives on 10th street reported to 911 that they saw lots of black smoke west of their location approximately ½ mile. There were multiple calls after that to dispatch. When Engine 60 pulled out of the bay they could see a column of black smoke in that direction and upgraded the fire to second alarm. Access was a bit of a challenge due to a narrow driveway with sharp corners and trees. Upon arrival Incident Commander Shannon Larsen reported a fully engulfed single-story house on fire and confirmed the address as 3739 Jefferson-Scio Rd., Jefferson, Oregon.
The owners of the home were not there as the home is under renovation, and they are not living there. The fire was deemed under control at 1:05 p.m. Crews continued to mop up for approximately 3 hours. There were no injuries. The cause of fire is under investigation. Jefferson Fire District along with Albany, Chemeketa, Scio, Stayton, and Turner Fire Department responded to the call. Thank you to all who assisted on the call and the neighbors who reported the fire.
