The Dalles, OR – Oregon State Police have taken the lead in a fire investigation after a Foley Lakes home suffered its second blaze in just over a week.
According to Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue, crews were dispatched at 7:31 p.m. on Monday, September 22, to 4109 Chenoweth Creek Road West, Space D13. The home had previously sustained major fire damage on September 14.
Fire officials said unusual fire behavior during suppression efforts prompted the on-scene commander to request additional investigators from the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office (OSFM) and the Oregon State Police Arson Unit. Wasco County Sheriff’s deputies also assisted at the scene.
This remains an active investigation, and authorities have not released a cause. Fire Marshal Chris Grant urged anyone with information to contact Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue at 541-296-9445. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through the agency’s website at MCFR.org.
Oregon State Police confirmed they are now the lead agency in the investigation.
