IVFD and ODF Crews Responded to Two Fires on Dick George Road near CJ
Firefighters from the Illinois Valley Fire District and Oregon Department of Forestry were sent to two fires on the same road near Cave Junction yesterday.
On Wednesday at 5:37 a.m., IVFD and ODF crews responded to a reported grass fire in the 900-block of Dick George Road.
IVFD officials said arriving units found several areas along the road that were on fire, with passersby and local residents attempting to put them out. They said crews quickly extinguished the flames and the cause of the fires was under investigation.
On Wednesday at 2:26 p.m., IVFD and ODF responded to a small electrical fire in the 4,000-block of Dick George Road.
Officials said arriving units found a 16-square-foot blaze that had already been extinguished by the property owner. They said an electrical cord had caught on fire and spread to nearby grass surrounding a recreational vehicle. Crews left the scene after the small blaze was determined to be completely out.
