This was only a couple of blocks from my house. My pup was going nuts with all the fire trucks going by and the helicopter hovering and dropping water for over an hour. I also know several of the firemen who responded to the call. They and ODF did a great job containing the fire to three outbuilding considering how hot the fire was and how close the houses were. There are also a lot of dry fields around. Luckily, no one got hurt!

Quote:EAGLE POINT — It took only 20 minutes for fire to destroy two large Eagle Point barns and severely damage another Tuesday afternoon.
Fire investigators with Jackson County Fire District No. 3 are investigating what caused the two-alarm blaze that sparked near the corner of Reese Creek Road and Crystal Drive in northeast Eagle Point.
The fire started just before 7 p.m. inside one of the barns, which was filled with hay, District 3 Battalion Chief Rod Edwards said.
