CBFD release – On Saturday, January 18, 2020, at 11:04 pm, the Coos Bay Fire Department responded to the report of a house fire at 472 Shorepines Place. The fire was reported to 911 by the resident as a single-wide manufactured home with a fire in the bedroom. When fire crews arrived they found flames coming from the bedroom window. The two residents escaped the building safely along with their dog. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the one bedroom and quickly extinguished the blaze, but the home did have smoke damage throughout the 50 year old mobile home. The fire investigation found a butane torch, used for lighting smoking material, had been left too close to combustible materials before it had cooled down.
