Upon arrival of first responding fire crews at approximately 1:15pm, the blaze was upgraded to a three-alarm structure fire prompting mutual aid responses from multiple agencies including Jackson County Fire District 3, Jackson County Fire District No. 5, Jacksonville Fire Department, and the Medford Police Department.
