with the second floor of the
home receiving a substantial
amount of damage.
“Our crews did a tre-
mendous job in stopping a
fast-moving, wind-driven
fire and prevented it from
becoming much worse,” he
said.
The cause of the fire
is under investigation.
The Deschutes County
Sheriff’s Office was joined
by the Oregon State Fire
Marshal’s Office and Oregon
State Police at the scene.
Investigators have deter-
mined the fire began in the
area where evidence is con-
sistent with the production of
a butane hash oil, or BHO.
Chief Olsen noted that res-
idents should have a clearly
marked, reflective address
sign for their home. In addi-
tion, make sure that you have
cut back trees and limbs in
your driveway that may block
fire apparatus from reaching
your home.
“Our fire trucks and ambu-
lances are much larger than
most vehicles,” he said. “I
recommend cutting back trees
and limbs from your drive-
way to create a clear path of
at least 20 feet wide and 12
feet tall as this will allow our
fire/medical crews to gain
access to your home in times
of need.”
Address signs are avail-
able from both Cloverdale
and Sisters-Camp Sherman
Fire Districts. Check with
your local fire district for
details.
