CAVE JUNCTION, Ore. — A structure fire caused damage to a Lions Club building in Cave Junction on Sunday morning, marking what local officials described as a difficult day for the community organization.
According to Grants Pass 911 Communications, the fire was reported at 11:33 a.m. on April 5, 2026, at 110 North Redwood Highway.
Emergency crews from the Illinois Valley Fire District, AMR Josephine County, and Rural Metro Fire of Josephine County responded to the commercial structure fire after a nearby food truck operator called 911 to report the incident.
When firefighters arrived, they observed smoke coming from the building’s eaves and roofline. Crews entered the structure, confirmed an active fire, and worked quickly to bring it under control. The blaze was subsequently extinguished.
Pacific Power was contacted to ensure the building’s electrical supply had been shut off, while the Oregon Department of Transportation assisted with traffic control in the area during the response.
Officials said the fire has been fully extinguished, and the property has since been returned to its occupants. No information on injuries has been released.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
