Oregon Fire Department Burns Down – KXL

Hauser, Ore. – A small fire station on the southern Oregon coast burned to the ground early Tuesday morning. North Bend firefighters responded to the Hauser fire station at about 1 a.m. and found the building and all its apparatus fully engulfed in flames. Crews had to cut into the metal building to access the inside. No personnel were in the building when the fire started.

The blaze forced a two-hour delay of neighboring North Bay Elementary Tuesday, out of an abundance of caution.

Investigators are working to determine how the fire started. Officials asked for prayers for Hauser firefighters and their families as they begin the process of rebuilding their department.
