Firefighters with Eugene Springfield Fire said they were able to put out a fire at a business Sunday night before it caused significant damage to the building. According to dispatch records, ESF crews were dispatched to 187 east Broadway at about 7:20 p.m. on April 28 for a report of a minor structure fire. ESF officials said a business owner had reported seeing a fire starting on their security camera and called 911. Firefighters arrived to find a fire on a workbench, and were able to put it out before it spread to the rest of the structure. ESF said the business owner’s quick reaction was instrumental in allowing them to respond in time to save the structure from significant damage. Firefighters said the fire was believed to have been caused by a lithium battery, but the Fire Marshal’s office is still investigating the incident.
