BOARDMAN A house at 308 Donovan Loop in Boardman caught fire in the attic Wednesday afternoon and spread to the structure, said Boardman?Rural Fire Protection District Chief Marc Rogelstad.
There were no injuries, but the damage was extensive, Rogelstad said. He did not have an estimate on the amount of damage done by the fire.
The house fire was started by a riding lawnmower parked alongside the house that caught fire and subsequently spread to the house, Rogelstad said. The cause of the lawn mower fire was undetermined.
The Morrow County Sheriffs Office said fire personnel were dispatched at 12:15 p.m. and the fire was contained by 2:15 p.m.
Boardman received mutual aid from Irrigon and Hermiston fire as well as the Morrow County ambulance, sheriff, and Boardman police, Rogelstad said.
