As you celebrate with family and friends this holiday, make fireworks safety a priority. Attend a public fireworks display whenever possible. If you choose to use legal consumer fireworks, keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby, never allow children to handle fireworks, and never relight a firework that doesn't ignite. Use fireworks only in a clear, open area away from homes, dry vegetation, and vehicles. Remember, sparklers can reach temperatures of over 1,000°F and can cause serious burns. Celebrate responsibly and help keep our community safe.

PHILOMATH, Ore. - On May 8, 2026, at approximately 7:30 a.m., a unified command involving the Benton County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) and the Philomath Fire & Rescue (PFD) responded to a structure fire near Northwest Sixth Street and Main Street in Philomath.

During the rapid primary search by firefighters, crews discovered a victim inside the home. The 72-year-old male was rescued from the home immediately and medical crews determined he was deceased. The search continued for additional victims, finding none. Firefighting efforts controlled the fire shortly after.

The cause of death remains under investigation by the Office of the Oregon State Fire Marshal.

BCSO closed westbound Highway 20 for approximately two and a half hours during the response and initial investigation.

Structure fires can spread rapidly and may extend into nearby vegetation, especially during dry conditions. Quick action by firefighters prevented the fire from spreading beyond the residence and reduced the risk of a larger wildland fire.

BCSO and PFD thank the Corvallis Fire, Philomath Police Department, OregonDot , the Oregon State Fire Marshal, Corvallis Regional Communications Center, and the Willamette Valley First Responder Chaplains for their assistance during the incident.

BCSO extends its condolences to the victim’s family and loved ones during this difficult time. Chaplains accompanied deputies while notifying the victim’s next of kin.
