SMOKE from page 1A
The fire grew to a little
over 1 acre as fire crews from
Swisshome/Deadwood Fire,
Mapleton Fire, SVFR and
the Oregon Department of
Forestry fought to contain
the blaze caused by a downed
power line as it spread up the
hill toward Village Loop res-
idences.
“We moved to an ‘area
command’ shortly after the
weather event moved in, al-
lowing us to control where
our units were being dis-
patched,” Schick explained.
“In this situation, 911 dis-
patch no longer sends out
tones, they just add the call to
our list on EnroutePro, which
is our dispatching software.”
This allowed first respond-
ers to control the number of
units responding to any one
call while also making sure
crews could cover the mul-
tiple calls happening in the
district.

Reflecting on the team’s
deployment to the fire, Inci-
dent Commander Joe Hessel
said, “The Mapleton com-
munity has been extremely
generous and supportive of
our crews. We’d also like to
thank the landowners, Lane
County and local fire de-
partments for their support
of the team. The great work
accomplished before our
arrival set the team up for a
successful assignment.”
With the change in weath-
er bringing hotter, drier con-
ditions across the state, ex-
treme fire weather continues
through Thursday. Current-
ly, the Western Lane District
is in extreme fire danger for
general public use.
