Part of the City Administrator's report to the City Council - Structure Fire Response – Virginia Avenue:

Crews responded to a residential structure fire in the 2600 block of Virginia Avenue that originated from an unattended pot on the stove. The fire extended from the kitchen into the attic space. Firefighters arrived within two minutes and quickly controlled the main body of the fire, preventing further extension. Crews completed a comprehensive overhaul, including removing smoldering attic insulation to eliminate the risk of rekindling. Seven residents were displaced. The American Red Cross was notified and provided immediate assistance with emergency housing. All occupants and pets were safely accounted for, including a small animal that was successfully rescued. There were no injuries. (North Bend Strategic Plan: Public Safety; Community Resilience)

Structure Fire Response – Residential Garage Fire:

Crews responded to an early morning structure fire contained to the garage, where extensive damage occurred. Due to a rapid response and effective suppression, the fire did not extend into the main living space, with interior damage primarily limited to smoke. The fire was determined to be electrical in nature. Smoke detectors alerted occupants, allowing the family to evacuate safely before the Fire Department arrived. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries. Although the structure was saved, smoke damage throughout the home was extensive, and the family will be displaced until repairs are completed.
