Bend Fire & Rescue issued a warning this week, stating that fire danger levels have escalated to "high." The threat of wildfire in nearby forests is a real concern. Fine dead fuels can easily ignite, and fires start quickly from any cause. Unattended brush and campfires are at risk of escaping, with fires spreading rapidly. High intensity burning can occur on slopes or in areas with fine fuel. It is crucial to respond swiftly to small fires, as they can become serious and difficult to control. Residents in Bend and surrounding rural areas are urged to adhere to burning regulations. Additional restrictions may be in place at recreation destinations, so it is advised to check with ODF and the U.S. Forest Service before heading out. #bendfire #smokeysays #highfiredanger
