Roseburg Forest Products MDF Mill in Medford, OR, Sustains Fire Damage

On Monday, the Medford Oregon Fire Department responded to a fire at the Roseburg Forest Products MDF mill located on North Pacific Hwy in Medford, Oregon, The Wild Coast Compass reported (8-27-24).

Fire crews reported a significant amount of smoke and flames coming from the press house of the facility, prompting a third alarm due to the complex construction features of the building.

The escalation to a third alarm prompted many surrounding fire departments into positions to assist and maintain adequate staffing in Jackson County for other potential calls.
