Eugene, OR – According to the statement, on Sunday afternoon, Eugene Springfield Fire crews responded to a grass fire that broke out behind Auto Craft at 2700 W 11th in West Eugene.

Upon arrival, firefighters discovered a 30×100 foot area engulfed in flames, which included grass, blackberry bushes, and other debris.
