Bend Fire & Rescue firefighters responded to a fire Saturday at Fagen's Tree Service at 151 SE 2nd St.

Bend Fire & Rescue had a busy Saturday morning with two fires in Bend — one at Fagen’s Trees & Chips on 2nd Street and the other, a house fire, on NE Wells Acres Road. 

The first fire was reported by multiple people at 8:04 a.m. who saw smoke coming from the yard at Fagen’s at 151 SE 2nd St. near the Bend Parkway, the fire agency said in a press release Saturday.

The Fagen’s fire was in a two story tall pile of bark chips and mulch on the property. It threatened trees and an adjacent building on 2nd Street, the release said. Fire crews put out the fire quickly with the assistance of an engine and water tender from the U.S. Forest Service compound nearby. 

While firefighters were extinguishing the Fagen’s fire, a second fire was reported at 8:55 a.m. at a structure at 3087 NE Wells Acres Road, the agency said.

When crews arrived they found the exterior deck on the south side of a home on NW Wells Acres Road on fire. The fire had traveled up the outside wall of the three-story home including the second and third floors. 

The exact cause of the second fire is unknown, and the estimated losses from the fire were $80,000 to the home and $20,000 to the home’s contents. The two occupants of the home were assisted by the American Red Cross, the agency said.
