At about 3:55 p.m. on Wednesday, the Eugene Fire Department received a call about a fire at Southtowne Lanes. By 5:30, 30 or so firefighters had managed to contain the flames within the bowling alley’s building.
Though everyone was successfully evacuated from Southtowne, the smoke darkened the skies in the immediate area and water pooled in nearby streets. Here are some photos from today’s emergency response to the fire at Southtowne Lanes.
