Medford, Ore.– One confirmed fire and another potential start of a fire, both involving garbage, sparked concerned in downtown Medford Tuesday.
A dumpster fire near the intersection of Grape and 8th Streets did some exterior damage to a downtown business just after 11 a.m.
Medford Fire and Rescue crews responded.
“MPD is checking another area that has some concern with another fire start in it sounds like another trash area,” said Fire Chief Tom McGowan.
The second area of concern was just down the street on West Main.
Fire officials say the cause of the fires is not yet known. They are investigating the possibility of a connection between the two incidents.
