Bend Fire & Rescue crews quickly extinguished a small brush fire on 15th Street and SE Lostine Circle Wednesday.  No homes were evacuated due to the fire, but three homes were put on alert. The fire grew to nearly a half-acre. 15th street was briefly closed while crews put out the fire. After investigation, it was determined the fire was human caused but it is unknown if it was intentional or unintentional. Investigation will continue.

Bend Fire & Rescue would like to remind the community that the fuels are already dry and fires will grow quickly in these conditions.
