***Structure Fire in Fossil***

On Wednesday, February 28, 2024 at about 0905 hours Frontier 911 received a call of a structure fire located on the 200 block of 1st Street in Fossil. Fossil Volunteer Fire Department, Fossil Volunteer Ambulance along with the Wheeler County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched.

Deputies with the Wheeler County Sheriff’s Office and an Oregon State Trooper were first on scene. After ensuring no victims were in the residence, Deputies and the OSP Trooper, armed with fire extinguishers, located the fire in a household appliance. A Deputy was able to extinguish the visible flames.

The Fossil Volunteer Fire Department arrived on scene and quickly assessed, engaged and prevented further damage to the residence.

The Fossil Volunteer Ambulance arrived on scene and evaluated all victims involved. No injuries were reported.

We would like to thank the Volunteers of Fossil who responded quickly and selflessly as well as the quick actions of Frontier 911 and the local OSP Trooper.
