Josephine County, OR

A small wildfire burned about a quarter-acre in light fuels near Damon access in Josephine County, Oregon. Fire crews had difficulty accessing the fire area due to locked gates. Later, crews responded to a large vacant commercial building at Orch Lane with reports of smoke and an electrical odor, but no active flames were found, and the fire was extinguished.
