The Lebanon Fire District just made a big, shiny donation. It was to an all-volunteer fire district that lost most of its equipment in 2020’s Santiam Canyon wildfires.
Alfalfa-area brush fire damages structures, but crews save home
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) A brush fire broke out Tuesday afternoon east of Bend in the Alfalfa area, damaging some structures, but was quickly stopped by fire crews before it could reach a nearby home.
Fire Chief Chad LaVallee said the fire, reported around 1:30 p.m., was contained shortly after crews arrived on scene. When the crews arrived, we found a couple of structures involved, including a fifth-wheel trailer and a couple of outbuildings, he said. So the crews made a quick knockdown on the buildings, called for some mutual aid engines from Bend to help us out with some issues and also some crew.
