No injuries reported at Timber Products blaze Oct 10, 2017 12:00 AM A A Fire crews from at least two agencies battled a fire at the Timber Products particleboard plant on McAndrews Road in Medford Tuesday evening. No injuries were reported. Medford Fire-Rescue supplied at least six engines including a ladder truck to attack flames that attacked a storage building. Jackson County Fire District 3 supplied two engines and a battalion chief to the efforts, according to Fire District 3 spokeswoman Ashley Blakely. Though fire crews surrounded the facility Tuesday, other operations at the plant appeared to continue uninterrupted. Fire District 3 also provided a water tender and another apparatus to the scene, but two extra engines were canceled. Blakely said that water tenders were turned away. The fire was reported at 6:44 p.m. according to Emergency Communications of Southern Oregon reports. The fire was largely knocked down by 7:30 p.m., though mop-up was expected to last through the night. Firefighter take down a fire at Timber Products Tuesday evening in Medford.
