Seven people displaced after multiple buildings burn in structure fire

Medford, Ore. – Seven people were displaced after a fire burned multiple buildings Friday night.

The fire occurred on the 600 block of Kylee Ann in southwest Medford at the Myra Lynne Mobile Home Park.

It involved two mobile homes and a detached garage.

Christine and Mark Dunnett, neighbors for eight years, live behind the homes that were affected. “I heard a boom and I thought something fell on the roof. And I saw all this smoke and I said, ‘that’s a lot of smoke for a barbecue.’ And then I said, ‘that’s not a barbecue.’ I opened the door and said ‘FIRE,’ and then closed the door, and called 911. I got my shorts on and ran outside and grabbed the hose.”

Neighbors say firefighters put out the flames with foam within minutes of arriving.

They are now working to determine the cause.

There were no reported injuries.

A neighbor from across the street ran over and notified the homeowners before the fire engulfed part of the house.
