MARCH 4, 2016, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A7 Damages top Standing still $100K after blaze at duplex The Keizer Fire District responded to a report of a house fi re shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday, March 1. Upon arriving at the duplex, fi refi ghters observed heavy smoke and fl ames coming from one of the garages. The caller, who lived in the garage, reported the house fi re in the 7000 block of Pierce Drive North at 7:53 a.m. while he was evacuating the home with his dog. The caller stated he awoke to his mattress on fi re. The home did have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in the traditional living spaces. Firefi ghters battled the fi re from the large garage door which had failed before they arrived on scene. They also cut holes in the roof to extinguish the fi re that had made its way into the attic space. Most of the blaze was contained to a single side of the duplex in the garage and attic space. The second side of the duplex only suffered minor smoke damage. No one was home in the second side of the duplex at the time of the fi re. Extensive damage to the residence was estimated at $100,000 and damage to the contents of the home was estimated at $15,000. No injuries were reported in the incident. The precise cause of the fi re was under investigation at press time. The Red Cross provided assistance to address basic immediate needs, information about recovery services and health and emotional resources. The fi re affected one adult, three children and six pets. Fire district offi cials remind residents that every sleeping space in the home needs to have a working smoke alarm. If you are sleeping in a non- traditional area such as the garage, a smoke alarm should be installed there. KEIZERTIMES/Eric A.
