Bend Fire & Rescue respond to a fire on Oct. 21.

Bend Fire & Rescue firefighters were able to knock down a fire that damages outbuildings prior to it getting to a home at 219 NW Jefferson Pl. in Bend.

The fire was reported Saturday at 4 p.m. and involve an outbuilding, deck, and a large travel trailer, according to a press release.

The fire was just beginning to extend to the residence as crews arrived, and they were able to minimize the damage to the residence and quickly knock down the fire, the release said. The shed was challenging as the roof structure consisted of multiple layers of old roofing.

The 764-square-foot residence was constructed in 1915, the adjacent 120 square foot shed was constructed in 1920. Damages are estimated at $60,000 to the structure, $50,000 to the contents, and $15,000 to the 2015 Forest River travel trailer, the department said in a release.

The single occupant was sleeping in the house at the time of the fire, and was awakened by a neighbor who alerted him to the fire. Red Cross assistance was requested for the occupant.

Possible cause of the blaze was due to a hot welding tool being left on the deck, the report said.

Bend Fire & Rescue would like to remind the community that anything which produces heat needs space around it. This could include portable space heaters, fireplaces and woodstoves, even the kitchen stove. Outdoors, items such as welders, grinders, and portable fire pits need space as well. Never place any heat producing appliance on a combustible surface, such as a wood deck.
