About 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 29, the fire dispatcher for the Orland Fire Department received a report of a dryer fire at the Blue and White Laundromat on South Street, near the Grocery Outlet.
Firefighters responded there but no fire was found. Minutes later, Orland volunteers were dispatched to a report of a fire at the laundromat near Sav-Mor market.
In fact, one of the first firefighters at the scene was a volunteer who was shopping in the market. Soon, numerous firefighters and three or four OFD vehicles, including the ladder truck, were on scene.
Some volunteers climbed onto the roof, looking for hot spots. Others extinguished the fire in the laundromat and blew the smoke out of the business.
About 4:15 p.m., the fire was out and the volunteers began to head back to the station. No one was injured and the damage appeared to be minor.
