Eugene, OR – Eugene Springfield Fire crews responded just before 4 a.m. on December 13 to a reported house fire in the 2800 block of Riviera Court in Springfield. Initial reports indicated that one adult was unaccounted for.
Engine 5 from the Gateway station arrived at 3:59 a.m. and reported a working fire in the garage. Firefighters deployed hose lines and conducted search operations in the garage, assisted by Engine 4, despite low visibility and obstacles from belongings stored in the area.
