Upon arrival, firefighters found the structure fully involved. Due to the intensity of the fire, the incident was quickly upgraded to a second alarm, and shortly thereafter to a third alarm. Crews transitioned to a defensive firefighting strategy, focusing on containing the fire and protecting nearby buildings. The property did not have on-site fire hydrants. To support suppression efforts, nine water tenders responded and shuttled water from the west side of McMinnville’s water system.
