NEWS BRIEF
Central Oregon forest fire
burns 2,500 acres
PINE GROVE, Ore. — A 2,500-acre
fire burned Monday on the north side
of the Warm Springs Indian Reserva
tion, Oregon's largest wildfire so far
this summer.
Approximately 335 people were
fighting the Logs Springs fire; said Roger
Peterson, spokesman at the Northwest
Interagency Coordination Center in
Portland. Firefighters have had no luck
containing the blaze, he said.
Twenty-one homes in a subdivi
sion near the small town of Simnasho
in Central Oregon were potentially
threatened by the fire and were under
a voluntary evacuation, Peterson said.
As of Monday evening, 12 people
had gathered at a evacuation center
set up at a longhouse in Simnasho,
he said.
Oregon Highway 9 remained
closed, blocking access to the Ka
Nee-Ta Resort and Indian Head
Gaming Casino.
According to Peterson, high winds
on the east slopes of the Cascades
Mountains could help fuel the blaze.
"There could still be some growth
this evening," he said. "It's still warm
and there are still winds blowing."
The fire was first reported Sunday
afternoon. A cause has yet to be
determined.

Facilities Services sent plumbing and
electrical workers to the scene, who
shut off the water upon arrival.
Bloom said the carpets would
have to be torn out and replaced,
costing about $ 10,000. Replacing the
blinds will cost around $3,000,
Bloom added. There have been no
official estimates of the damage.
He said seven or eight computers
and four or five printers were dam
aged by the water. The systems will be
taken to the Computing Center in
McKenzie Hall to see whether they
can be repaired.
About 20 people showed up to re
move water using vacuums and oth
er extraction devices. Employees who
worked in the office came in to sal
vage what they could: files, pictures,
electronics, papers, and whatever else
they could save.
George Evano, Communications
Director for the Oregon Bach Festi
val, worked in the office. He tried to
rescue his files and papers, but at this
point, he said it's hard to say how
much was destroyed.
Evano said that because the Oregon
Bach Festival is over, much of the pa
perwork has already been processed.
"If this would have happened two
weeks ago, it would have been disas
trous," he said, adding that the Ore
gon Bach Festival Committee would
have had concerts and organizing
to worry about.
Cummings estimates it will take
several months to repair all of the
damage.

caused flooding of the Oregon Bach Festival office. Facilities Services workers were able to
shut off the water quickly, but not in time to prevent extensive damage.
