The Dalles, Ore., Feb. 10, 2026 — One person was hospitalized Friday night, Feb. 6, after a structure fire tore through a home in the 3000 block of Mill Creek Road, according to fire and law-enforcement officials.

Crews from Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue responded to the fire at about 9:45 p.m. and arrived to find heavy fire coming from the structure. Fire officials said the occupants were able to exit the residence, though one individual was treated at the scene and transported to a hospital for further evaluation.

Oregon State Police later reported the fire involved a mobile home at 3207 Mill Creek Road with four tenants inside at the time of the blaze. According to police, one tenant — described as non-mobile — was transferred and admitted to the hospital due to injuries. Another tenant who was believed to be in the room where the fire originated could not be located or interviewed.

The cause of the fire remains undetermined and is under investigation. The origin and cause investigation was conducted jointly by Oregon State Fire Marshal's Office and Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue, with assistance from an accelerant detection canine team. Wasco County Sheriff's Office is leading any potential criminal investigation related to the incident.

Multiple fire and medical units responded, including Medic 21, Engines 21 and 22, Truck 23, Tenders 21 and 23, and command staff. Oregon State Police said a fire marshal from an outside agency also assisted in the investigation. Wasco County PUD and sheriff’s deputies provided support at the scene.

Fire officials said callback personnel and Klickitat County Emergency Medical Services assisted with unrelated EMS calls while crews worked the fire. A fire crew remained on scene overnight.

No further details were immediately available.
