Firefighters from Rural Metro Fire Department, Oregon Department of Forestry and Grants Pass Fire Rescue prevented a fire that started at 6:24 p.m. Tuesday in the 2700 block of Pleasant Valley Road from spreading to a nearby business and wild lands.

In total, seven firefighters, two engines and one water tender responded.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
