LEBANON, Ore. – Lebanon Fire District crews responded to flames shooting up to 20 feet high from underneath an old railroad trestle at a former mill site in the 800 block of East Milton on Monday night.<\/p>\n
A nearby resident spotted the large fire burning on the property and called 911 at 8:55 p.m. on April 20. When the first engine arrived, firefighters found the area contained a significant amount of discarded materials that had piled up over time. The fire’s size and the lack of hydrants in the area prompted crews to call for backup. A pumper tender carrying 2,500 gallons of water arrived along with additional firefighters. Crews brought the fire under control quickly and stayed on scene for about an hour to make sure it was completely out.<\/p>\n
According to the Lebanon Fire District, warmer and drier conditions are approaching. Outdoor burning can quickly get out of control, especially in areas with dry grass, brush or debris that has built up. Even small fires can spread rapidly and put nearby homes, properties and emergency responders at risk.<\/p>\n
The fire district says people should always check local regulations and ensure conditions are safe before burning. Never leave a fire unattended and keep a water source or hose nearby. The district recommends properly disposing of trash and yard debris instead of burning, particularly in areas where materials have accumulated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LEBANON, Ore. – Lebanon Fire District crews responded to flames shooting up to 20 feet high from underneath…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[28120,93,2813,2664,28119],"class_list":{"0":"post-77205","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lebanon","8":"tag-industrial-site-fire","9":"tag-lebanon","10":"tag-lebanon-fire-district","11":"tag-linn-county","12":"tag-old-mill-site"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116445354547733363","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
