FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shortly before 7:00pm yesterday evening, August 18th, Idanha-Detroit Fire District was dispatched to a fall at the Church St bridge in Idanha. Upon arrival, our crew found an injured man at the water's edge who had fallen approximately 30 feet onto the rocks below.

Due to the steep terrain and the man's injuries, a rope rescue team from Salem Fire Department was requested to assist with rescue operations. The man was safely rescued, transferred to Lyons Ambulance, and then taken to a nearby landing zone from where he was flown by Life Flight to Salem Hospital.

Idanha-Detroit Fire District would like to thank Salem Fire Department , Lyons Rural Fire District, Metcom 911, Marion County Sheriff's Office , and Linn County Sheriff's Office for their assistance with the rescue and their dedication to the safety and wellbeing of our citizens.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

At 3:45 this morning, August 14th, Idanha-Detroit Fire District was dispatched to an RV fire at Detroit Lake State Park. Our crew arrived to find a large RV fully involved, with fire also spreading to nearby brush and trees.

Due to the proximity of other campers in the park, limited personnel on the initial attack crew, and the absence of a static water supply, additional resources were requested from neighboring agencies.

The fire was contained to the immediate area and no injuries were reported. The single occupant of the RV was awoken by smoke alarms and was able to safety exit the RV. The cause of the fire is undetermined, but it is believed to have started in the kitchen.

This incident serves as a stark reminder that smoke alarms save lives! Ensure that yours are working properly by testing them once a month, and replacing the batteries every 6 months.

Idanha-Detroit Fire District was assisted by Gates Rural fire Protection District, Lyons Rural Fire District , Stayton Fire District , and Marion County Sheriff's Office.
