SAN JUAN COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT 4

Lopez Island Fire and EMS Department

2228 Fisherman Bay Road

Lopez Island, WA 98261


On Saturday March 4th at 7:42 pm, Lopez Fire and EMS responded to a structure fire in the 300 block of 

Lopez Rd. The fire was called in to 911 by a passerby who saw flames from the front of the structure. 

The first arriving officers found the front of the structure had significant flames from the southeast 

corner doors and windows, the interior floor had collapsed, and the basement was fully involved. 

Our first in engine connected to a fire hydrant a block away and pulled a large hose to begin 

suppressing the heat and flames. The fire was extinguished at 8:35 pm and firefighters 

spent the next few hours extinguishing hot spots. The fire department cleared the 

scene at 12:03 am with one person remaining to watch for flare ups. 


The San Juan County Fire Marshall was at the site at 8:00 am Sunday morning to begin an 

investigation, which is ongoing. Local security camera footage revealed that the fire flashed in the 

residence at 7:36 pm, it is unknown how long the fire grew prior to this time. 


The structure and its belongings are a total loss. There were no residents home, and nobody 

was physically hurt because of this fire.
