UPDATED PRESS RELEASE

Dallas Fire & EMS Responds to Fatal Residential Structure Fire

Dallas, Oregon – September 19, 2026 — At approximately 6:19 p.m. on September 18, Dallas Fire & EMS was dispatched to a reported residential structure fire in the 400 block of SE LaCreole Drive.

Upon arrival, firefighters learned that an occupant was still believed to be inside the residence. Firefighters immediately initiated rescue operations and located an adult male inside the home. Sadly, the individual succumbed to his injuries.

Fire crews also located two dogs inside the residence. Both dogs were safely removed from the home.

Firefighters had also received information that two additional occupants may have been inside the residence. A secondary search of the home was conducted, and no additional occupants were located. The two individuals were later contacted and confirmed to be safe.

Firefighters encountered challenging conditions at the scene that made both fire suppression and search operations difficult. The fire was contained, and crews remained on scene to complete operations.

Dallas Fire & EMS was assisted by Dallas Police Department, Polk Fire District, Southwest Polk Fire District, Falls City Fire and the Oregon State Fire Marshal. The American Red Cross was contacted and will be working with the family to provide assistance.

Dallas Fire & EMS would also like to recognize our department chaplain, who stepped in to assist the family during this difficult time while also providing support and care to our firefighters.

“Calls like this are never easy for our firefighters or our community. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the family of the victim during this incredibly difficult time.”

Dallas Fire & EMS reminds everyone of the importance of having a home fire escape plan and ensuring that working smoke alarms are installed throughout the home. Know two ways out of every room, have a designated meeting place outside, and make sure your smoke alarms are working.

September 11th was a day that changed our country forever. Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in the attacks on the World Trade Center, including 343 FDNY firefighters, 71 law enforcement officers, and 55 military personnel at the Pentagon. Twenty-five years later, their sacrifice continues to exemplify what it means to be a true hero.

Displaying our flag on the ladder truck is our way of showing that we remember, we honor, and we will never forget ❤️
