While all eyes were on the
Milli Fire raging to the west of
Sisters last week, Cloverdale
firefighters caught a fire in a
chicken coop before it could
spread to an attached building.
On Friday, August 18,
Cloverdale firefighters were
called to a reported structure
fire at 17552 Plainview Ct.
Callers reported a chicken
coop attached to a house was
on fire. Firefighters arrived to
find that the burning coop was
attached to the residence’s
garage.
With assistance from the
Sisters-Camp Sherman fire
district, firefighters were
able to extinguish the fire
with minimal damage to the
garage.
The chicken coop was
a total loss, and numerous
chickens succumbed to smoke
and flames.
Assistance was provided
by the Black Butte Ranch and
Crooked River Ranch fire
districts who provided cover-
age in the area during the fire.
This fire occurred during the
height of the Milli Fire, when
local districts had increased
staffing due to the large forest
fire and the solar eclipse.
The cause of the fire is
under investigation by the
Oregon State Fire Marshal’s
office.

DELAY: Schools added
carbon-based filters
to improve air quality

health and safety of our entire
school community,” he said.
“I know the staff wants noth-
ing more than the opportunity
to give the students the best
possible educational experi-
ence. I was truly impressed
by the dedication, effort, and
support on display at SES
yesterday when staff from all
building came to help our ele-
mentary staff unpacked their
classroom. I also realized that
the lack of access to our facil-
ities for staff created a sense
of urgency and I found staff
working when they should
have excused themselves.
Eventually, I had to send all
staff home due to the air qual-
ity concerns.”
Scholl told The Nugget
that the district has taken steps
to improve the air quality in
the buildings, even as smoke
from the Milli Fire (and other
fires in Oregon) continues to
hover across Sisters Country.
“We installed carbon-
based filters in all of the
schools on Friday and over
the weekend and today
(Monday), we have seen
a significant improvement
in air quality in the build-
ings,” Scholl reported. “They
improve the air quality
because they filter more of the
particulates out of the air that
we bring in from the outside.”
Air quality is expected to
remain a concern for several
days as burnout operations
continue on the Milli Fire
and smoke from the massive
Chetco Bar Fire in southwest
Oregon continues to drift
across the state.
