Lebanon Fire District Responds to Three Major Fires in 24 Hours, Burning Approximately 54 Acres **LEBANON, Ore.** — Firefighters with the Lebanon Fire District responded to three significant fire incidents over a 24-hour period, including two fires that escalated to multiple-alarm responses and required extensive mutual aid from neighboring agencies and local farmers. The first incident was dispatched as a first-alarm fire and was quickly brought under control by two Lebanon Fire District units. Crews successfully contained and extinguished the blaze before it could spread, minimizing damage. The second fire proved more challenging. While firefighters were en route, a large column of smoke prompted dispatchers to upgrade the response to a second alarm before the first engine arrived. Lebanon Fire District received mutual aid from Brownsville Fire, Halsey/Shedd Fire, and Tangent Fire. In addition to fire agencies, members of the local agricultural community played a key role in the response. Farmers provided water trucks to supply firefighting operations and ripper discs to create containment lines, helping crews slow the fire's spread. Later during the same operational period, firefighters were dispatched to a third fire. Based on visible fire conditions, the incident was upgraded to a second alarm before the incident commander arrived. Following an initial size-up, the commander immediately requested a third alarm to bring in additional resources. Firefighters from Albany Fire, Brownsville Fire, Halsey/Shedd Fire, Tangent Fire, Scio Fire, and Sweet Home Fire joined Lebanon crews in battling the blaze. Local farmers again assisted by providing water trucks and agricultural equipment to support containment efforts. Combined, the three fires burned approximately 54 acres during the 24-hour period. Lebanon Fire District expressed its appreciation to all assisting fire agencies and the local farming community, crediting their rapid response, teamwork, and commitment with helping bring the fires under control. District officials said the busy operational period underscores the importance of strong regional partnerships and community support, noting that successful emergency response depends on collaboration between fire agencies, emergency responders, and local residents working together to protect lives and property.
