At approximately 3:40pm Tuesday afternoon Redmond Fire & Rescue was alerted to a possible residential structure fire a 2858 SW 37th Ct. As fire crews were responding a large column of black smoke was visible from a distance. Law enforcement first arrived on scene and advised the house was fully engulfed.
Upon arrival of fire crews, fire had spread to the neighbors backyard to the east and the neighbors shed on the south. To stop the spread of the fire and to protect the other homes, crews deployed a large master stream from the first arriving engine. This master stream can deliver water at a rate of up to 1250 gallons per minute.
There were no reported injuries and everyone, including pets safely evacuated the residence.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Redmond Fire & Rescue would like to thank Bend Fire & Rescue, Cloverdale RFPD, Redmond Police and City of Redmond Public Works for their assistance.
Redmond Fire & Rescue would like to remind everyone to test you smoke alarms monthly and to have and practice an escape plan.
