KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — October 18, 2026 — At approximately 3:03 a.m., Klamath County Fire District 1 (KCFD1) was dispatched to a reported structure fire on Morningside Lane.
Fire crews arrived within minutes of dispatch and encountered active fire conditions involving a residence. Initial firefighting operations were hindered by a downed power line near the structure, requiring firefighters to take additional precautions while establishing fire suppression efforts.
Once the scene was stabilized and the electrical hazard addressed, KCFD1 crews coordinated with Kingsley Field firefighters assigned to Engine 3211 to initiate offensive operations. The crew from Engine 3111 conducted an aggressive primary search of the residence while additional firefighters advanced attack lines to suppress the fire.
Through coordinated suppression and search efforts, crews successfully contained the fire and limited further damage to the structure.
No firefighter injuries were reported during the incident. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Klamath County Fire District 1 would like to thank Pacific Power for their prompt response in addressing the downed power line, allowing firefighting operations to proceed safely and effectively.
We also extend our appreciation to the Kingsley Field Fire Department for their assistance and continued partnership during this incident.
KCFD1 remains committed to providing the highest level of emergency services to the citizens and communities we proudly serve.
