Fire Erupts at West Eugene Manufacturing Facility



EUGENE, Ore. — Eugene Springfield Fire (ESF) swiftly contained a fire at a manufacturing facility in West Eugene on July 5, 2025. The blaze broke out just before 2 p.m. at the original Arcimoto building in the 1800 block of West 2nd Avenue.

ESF crews from Station 2 arrived within two and a half minutes of the dispatch call, encountering heavy fire and smoke emanating from the exterior of the building. Initially concerned that the fire had spread inside, ESF called for additional resources as part of a second alarm. However, firefighters soon determined the fire was confined to manufacturing stock in the back parking lot, with no damage to the building itself. The additional resources were dismissed, and crews extinguished the fire promptly.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
