City of Coos Bay release - December 17, 2025 – Coos Bay firefighters responded to a house fire at 1450 Holloway Mews in the Empire District at approximately 3:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.  First-arriving crews found heavy smoke coming from the rear of the structure and flames coming from the roof. As hose lines were deployed to the back of the home, the deck area was fully involved and fire had extended into the main portion of the house.  Firefighters quickly achieved an initial knockdown within minutes. Design features of the house created challenges during overhaul, with multiple ceiling voids concealing hot spots that required additional time to fully extinguish.  No injuries were reported.  Coos Bay Fire was assisted through an automatic aid agreement with Charleston Fire. Bay Cities Ambulance and Pacific Power also assisted at the scene.  The cause of the fire was determined to be an electrical failure involving an exterior appliance.  Estimated damage to the home and contents is approximately $600,000.  If you would like any additional information about this fire, contact the fire department at 541-269-1191.
