wildfire

As wildland fire season ramps up across Central Oregon, a familiar Prineville business is once again stepping in to help make sure firefighters on the line are fed.

Crook County Fire & Rescue along with support from ODF and BLM firefighters were able to stop the spread of a brush fire near NW Cedar Place, which was reported by Crook County Emergency Management.

The brush fire that erupted Saturday afternoon near SE Highland Road is now believed to be human-caused, according to Crook County Fire and Rescue officials. A joint investigation is underway to determine exactly how the blaze started.
