$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.
