JOSPEHINE COUNTY, Ore. —Two vehicle fires kept Rural Metro firefighters busy Monday afternoon, just an hour apart.
The first was in Hugo around 12:30 p.m. when a truck pulling a fifth wheel RV caught fire coming down off the Sexton Pass on I-5. The fire was beginning to damage the front exterior of the RV, but suppression efforts saved the contents.
There was no spread to the wildland. The cause was deemed a mechanical failure.
An hour later, a fully involved Audi was reported approximately 4 miles up Shan Creek Road, beyond the National Forest boundary. There was no driver located, and the vehicle appeared to have been burning for a while.
The cause of that fire is under investigation and anyone with information should call the Sheriff at 541-474-5123.
