Investigators Looking into Cause of Fire that Damaged SE Lela Lane Residence
Investigators were looking into the cause of a weekend fire that damaged a home near a city park in southeast Grants Pass.
Late Saturday night, Grants Pass Fire & Rescue, Grants Pass Police, Rural Metro Fire Department and American Medical Response were dispatched to the reported structure fire on SE Lela Lane near Portola Park.
Emergency units arrived on scene to find a large two-story home with a working fire on the second floor and smoke showing. A line was pulled and a transitional attack with the exterior spraying of water was performed until additional resources arrived to assist. Engines arrived and assisted in extinguishing the flames, a search of the home, ventilation and salvage operations.
All Grants Pass engines from the Parkway, Hillcrest and Redwood stations were committed to the scene for approximately two hours, during which time Rural Metro engines covered the city and an "All Call" for off-duty personnel was made.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
Grants Pass fire officials would like to remind the community about maintaining working smoke alarms and having an escape plan from your house.
