Police are looking for a large group of juveniles who set a vending machine on fire outside the Rogue Valley Family YMCA early Wednesday, destroying the appliance. The flames did not extend to the main structure, as police and firefighters were able to get on scene quickly and prevent the potential spread. "That's a big building," said Lt. Justin Ivens of Medford police. "It really could have turned into quite the scene down there." Mail Tribune carrier Jamie Adams was the first to spot the flames. On his early morning delivery route, he smelled what he thought was, at first, an electrical fire, possibly coming from his vehicle. But he found nothing in a quick check, and continued on his way to the YMCA, one of the stops on his route. "When I came around the back of the building, I see two vending machines, and one of them is full on engulfed in flames," Adams said. He added that he noticed some small blocks of wood lying near the front door, which he suspects were used to start the fire. "I'm glad I was in the right place at the right time," Adams said. Emergency dispatch received a 911 call from Adams about a possible structure fire in the 500 block of West Sixth Street at about 3:40 a.m., according to dispatch records. Police and firefighters arrived on scene to find the exterior vending machine, located near the parking lot, fully ablaze. ""It was pretty much contained," said Medford Fire-Rescue deputy chief Justin Bates. Police and firefighters snuffed the fire quickly. No injuries were reported. A damage estimate was not immediately available. "Knowing that was pretty suspicious, they called the investigator out there, and they also got police involved," Bates said. Officers reviewed surveillance footage from a nearby camera. The video shows a group of about eight people walking into the frame just before the fire started. "They appear to be juveniles, teenagers actually," Ivens said. "They walk into the YMCA parking lot off of Sixth Street and congregate near the vending machines." The footage then shows at least some of the members of the group — mostly male with at least one female, according to the footage — stuffing some unidentified material into the machine and lighting it before leaving the scene. No additional details on the suspects were available. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Medford police at 541-770-4784.
