Forestry worked with us on that one. It appears to be started by transients,” Barrett said. Dry and warm conditions compounded to spread the fire, though the two agencies were able to contain the fire before afternoon winds could spread it to nearby trees. Department of Forestry will continue the investigation. While Siuslaw Valley was still at the brush fire, crews received the second call of the day at 1:30 p.m. — a house in the 2100 block of 17th Street. Firefighters worked to contain the fire for several hours, but the house and its contents were a near total loss, with only a few personal items saved. “It appears to be started by smoking materials,” Barrett said. The fire began outside the house near a door to the garage. Before long, it spread up the outside wall and into the attic. Barrett said the windows of the house blew out right as fire- fighters arrived. Andrew and Marcy Kellermen and their teenaged son lived in the home with their pets. “The man and the teen were home at the time but got out OK. We found out later that the pets were also found safe,” Barrett said. He added that firefighters always check for pets and people when they respond to a fire. “We were concerned, too, when we heard the pets might be inside,” he said. The local Disaster Response Team with the American Red Cross also responded to the fire. Red Cross provided resources to help address the immediate basic needs of the family, including temporary housing, food, clothing, information about recovery services and health and mental health servic- es. Florence residents also stepped forward with supplies and created a fundraising cam- paign to assist the Kellermen family at GoFundMe.com/2p 47fd34. Later that night, Siuslaw Valley received a dispatch about a third fire. At 11:30 p.m., a motorhome caught fire in front of Dunes Cafe on Highway 126. According to Barrett, the driver had just purchased the vehicle in Veneta and was on her way home to Lakeside. Engine difficulties prompted her to pull over. She fought to put out flames beneath the engine compart- ment with a fire extinguisher. Firefighters were unable to save the rest of the vehicle. “It was a busy, tiring day,” Barrett said. “Training more volunteers would really help on days like today.” He also said that the fire dan- ger will continue until there is a larger change in the weather. “Absolutely be on alert. The danger will not pass until we have two weeks of rain to soak the ground and raise the mois- ture level. Things are still real- ly dry,” he said.
