CROOKED RIVER RANCH, OR -- A Crooked River Ranch hosue was heavily damaged in a weekend fire. Neighbors first reported the blaze on SW Sage Hen Road Saturday, just before midnight, after hearing an explosion. The homeowners reportedly were awakened by the explosion, telling firefighters they walked into another room and saw a wall of flames. Everyone escaped unharmed.

With no hydrants in the area, firefighters trucked water to the scene. Crews were able to save the garage and shop area, including a family vehicle. The cause of the fire is, so far, undetermined.

Losses are estimated at $530,000. The Red Cross is helping the displaced family.
