Structure Fire on Adams and 2nd in La Grande

LA GRANDE –

Update from City of La Grande Fire (March 22, 2026) This evening at approximately 5:35pm our department was dispatched to an apartment fire in the 1900 block of 2nd Street. Initial arriving crews were met with fire conditions in the attic, with some involvement in a second story apartment. All occupants were reported to be safely out of the building.

Crews worked late into the night to gain the upper hand on the fire, which had found its way into void spaces and difficult to reach areas. The fire was fully extinguished with fire damage contained mostly to the second floor apartment, attic and roof. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries to the occupants and crews returned safely. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

We had assistance from many of our valued mutual aid partners. Over 30 Fire and EMS personnel responded from 5 different agencies. Additionally we had assistance from several other agency partners outside of the Fire Service. City of La Grande Fire Department would like to thank the following departments for their outstanding support and service to our community tonight. We could not have done it without you!

La Grande Police Department – Dispatchers and Patrol Officers, La Grande Rural Fire Protection District, Union Rural Fire Protection District, Elgin Rural Fire Protection District, Imbler Rural Fire Protection District, Oregon State Fire Marshal, La Grande Public Works Department and the American Red Cross.
