Air assets worked the fire day in and day out.
FIRE: Danger will
remain high through
the holiday weekend
Continued from page 1
to very hot temperatures and
dry conditions through the
week, meaning fire danger
remains very high. People
enjoying the forests and des-
erts over Labor Day weekend
should exercise extreme cau-
tion to avoid human-caused
fire.
The Deschutes National
Forest Area Closure remains
in place while FS Road 14
and associated campgrounds

DEPUTIES: Three
Sisters deputies
have been selected
Continued from page 1
a number of foot patrols over
the summer, meeting citi-
zens and business owners,
handing out business cards,
and introducing themselves
to provide name and face
recognition.
<We have received an
overwhelmingly positive
response from the public.
We are excited for all of the
deputies to be in place by
September 12,= Bailey told
The Nugget.
He indicated that the foot
patrols will be part of the
deputies9 routine duties.
<We want to be more than
just the police force. We want
to be part of the community,=
Bailey said, noting particu-
larly the current environment
for police across the nation.
The other two depu-
ties, Michael Hudson and
Allie DeMars, are transfer-
ring to their new positions
in Sisters from other county
patrol teams. Deputy Brent
Crosswhite, the resource
officer for the Sisters School
District, has been serving in
Sisters this summer and will
be patrolling as the <west dis-
trict car= outside the Sisters
city limits and will also work
out of the Sisters substation.

The Green Ridge Fire burned in
heavy timber.
Additionally, there will be
workspace available for the
DCSO public information
officer when in the area.
The interior of the police
substation, located in the
building on the southwest
corner of North Larch and
West Barclay Drive, is
already looking different,
with more workstations in
place, a large conference
table and chairs, and removal
of some excess furniture to
open up floor space. A sepa-
rate office will provide space
for the lieutenant. A new
restroom will also be added
to the station. Last year, the
County purchased that entire
building from a local citizen.
A covered parking area
on the west side of the build-
ing will provide protection in
the winter for the deputies9
vehicles. Sometime before
September 12, the DCSO
will be taking delivery of
three cars and a pickup truck,
all with the DCSO logo and
indicating they are Sisters
patrol units.
Deputies will be on duty
seven days a week, with
everyone scheduled for
Fridays, when they will hold
meetings, conduct trainings,
and share relevant informa-
tion face-to-face.
Bailey indicated there will
be a public meet-and-greet
in the substation parking lot
after everyone has arrived
and settled in.
