Kitchen Fire Displaces Two Residents On Davis Road
On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 7:40 p.m., the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District was dispatched to the 13300 block of Davis Road in unincorporated Woodstock for a reported residential structure fire.
While en route, additional information was received from the caller reporting the kitchen was on fire.
Given the rural response area and lack of hydrants at the address, the incident was upgraded to a working fire, prompting the request for additional resources.
Firefighters arrived within minutes and observed smoke showing from a single-story residence.

The house is considered uninhabitable until repairs are made.
