HERMISTON, Ore. – Umatilla County Fire District #1 said it responded to a structure fire in the 1300 block of Theater Lane and worked to put it out before the fire could spread to nearby buildings.

They were dispatched to the fire at 10:57 a.m. on November 6 and received assistance from the Umatilla Rural Fire Protection District.

When they arrived, they saw the outdoor building on fire with heavy smoke and visible flames. Crews on the scene had to use Water Tenders to supply the water because of the rural location of the fire and the lack of hydrants nearby, District #1 said.

They were able to contain the fire within ten minutes, according to District #1.

No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation, District #1 said.
