Medford Fire Department Responded to, Extinguished Recreational Vehicle Fire
The Medford Fire Department responded to and put out a structure fire in the 3000 block of Table Rock Road Monday around 9:20 p.m.
Crews arrived to find a trailer on fire that was also threatening a nearby residence. The fire was knocked down within eight minutes of arrival. Medford Police, Mercy Flights, and Jackson County Fire District 3 assisted.
No civilians or firefighters were injured at the scene, but one resident was displaced as a result of the fire. The cause is believed to be related to the use of an outdoor fire pit, where embers likely ignited nearby combustible materials.
The fire spread from pallets and other items to the recreational vehicle, causing extensive damage to the RV and minor damage to the exterior of the home. The MFD reminds the public that, as warmer, drier weather approaches, fire risk increases.
Use a screen on outdoor fires when burning wood, choose approved propane free-standing fire pits rather than wood fueled options, keep combustible materials at least 15 feet away, and discard cigarettes, ash, embers, and any other smoldering materials in a non-combustible container filled with water.
