Employees knock down fire at Ray’s
A grill fire inside Ray’s
Food Place in Sisters Monday
night was rapidly extin-
guished before spreading,
thanks to quick action by
employees on scene, and a
rapid response by Sisters-
Camp Sherman Fire District.
All customers had evacu-
ated the store and employ-
ees inside the store used fire
extinguishers to stop the fire
from spreading while fire-
fighters responded. First
arriving units found an indoor
gas grill covered with bak-
ing sheets with significant
heat, but no visible flames.
Firefighters used a thermal
imaging camera to confirm
no heat in the ceiling tiles sur-
rounding the hood of the grill,
and damage was confined to
the grill itself.
Shift Commander Rob
Harrison said, “The prompt
effort of employees to locate
and turn the gas to the grill
off, and use a fire extinguisher
to put the fire out helped to
keep the fire from spreading.”
The National Fire
Protection Agency (NFPA)
offers the following safety
tips in regards to use of a fire
extinguisher:
Use a portable fire extin-
guisher when the fire is con-
fined to a small area, such as a
wastebasket, and is not grow-
ing; everyone has exited the
building; the fire department
has been called or is being
called; and the room is not
filled with smoke.
To operate a fire extin-
guisher, remember the word
PASS:
1. Pull the pin. Hold
the extinguisher with the
nozzle pointing away from
you, and release the locking
mechanism.
2. Aim low. Point the
extinguisher at the base of the
fire.
3. Squeeze the lever
slowly and evenly.
4. Sweep the nozzle from
side-to-side.
For the home, select a
multi-purpose extinguisher
(can be used on all types
of home fires) that is large
enough to put out a small fire,
but not so heavy as to be dif-
ficult to handle.
Choose a fire extin-
guisher that carries the label
of an independent testing

laboratory.
Read the instructions that
come with the fire extin-
guisher and become familiar
with its parts and operation
before a fire breaks out.
Install fire extinguish-
ers close to an exit and keep
your back to a clear exit when
you use the device so you
can make an easy escape if
the fire cannot be controlled.
If the room fills with smoke,
leave immediately.
Know when to go. Fire
extinguishers are one ele-
ment of a fire response plan,
but the primary element is
safe escape. Every house-
hold should have a home
fire escape plan and working
smoke alarms.
Sisters-Camp Sherman
Fire District responded with
three emergency vehicles
and six personnel. Additional
units from Sisters-Camp
Sherman, Black Butte Ranch
and Cloverdale Fire Districts
also responded to the fire but
were canceled prior to arrival.
