A commercial building, home to the Eagle Mountain Fellowship, caught fire Monday, resulting in an estimated $150,000 in damages and losses, according to a Bend Fire Department press release.

The fellowship, a nondenominational Christian group, is located in a suite at 910 SE Wilson Ave. According to the release, Bend firefighters responded to the scene after someone reported smoke trailing from the building’s roof. Because of a firewall, the fire did not spread beyond the fellowship.

Bend Fire Department was on the scene for a few hours before the blaze was put out. According to the release, the fire was caused by an extension cord that was pinched by sound equipment.
