A house fire outside of a fire district was allowed to burn by firefighters.
Firefighters who responded to a house fire in Dorena Monday did not extinguish the fire because the home was outside their fire district.
South Lane Fire and Rescue firefighters responded to the fire on the 39000 block of Row River Road and determined the fire was not within their response area. They ensured that flames from the burning home would not spread, and then left the scene while the home continued to burn.
Area homeowners said that the area is not protected by a fire department, the State Fire Marshal's Office told KEZI 9.
The only thing that remained from the structure was its metal roof, the homeowner said.
