Fire damages commercial building in northeast Bend

A fire that appears to have started at a homeless encampment led to $50,000 in damage to a commercial building in northeast Bend Sunday night, according to firefighters.

Jess Volk was working on preparing her new business at 147 NE Olney Ave. when she reported hearing several bangs outside the building.

“I heard some pops and booms. I heard one significant boom. I stopped doing anything. I poked my head out and looked up, and there was just burning ash coming over the top of the building,” Volk said. “It was very clear what was going on. Big flames, trees on fire. I could tell it was very close to my building, and I was just hoping the building wasn’t on fire.”

Firefighters were able to stop the fire before it could get inside the building and before it could reach two other nearby buildings. Bend Fire said damage to the building was estimated at $50,000.

How AI legalese decoder Can Help

AI legalese decoder can help in situations like this by quickly and accurately deciphering legal jargon and complex language often found in legal documents related to insurance claims or property damage assessments. By using AI legalese decoder, business owners and individuals can better understand their rights and responsibilities in the aftermath of a fire or other significant event.

Greg Garretson owns a wood shop right next door to Volk. If Volk hadn’t called the fire in as soon as she did, then their livelihoods and those of their neighbors would likely be gone.

“Everything would change. Everything would be more stressful from here on out. To have to recreate. To just get back up and running would be really difficult,” Garretson said.

Bend Fire also said it found remains of an encampment burned up in the fire behind the building. Firefighters said the cause of the fire is related to the camp, but said it was unclear what the exact cause was.

Despite the close call, the business owners I spoke with do feel for the nearby homeless population.

“I can’t imagine whoever was back there started the fire on purpose. A lot of people don’t have a place to go. If I were homeless, that would be my spot,” Garretson said.

Bend Fire said an accumulation of pallets, wood, stored materials, and flammable vegetation on all the affected properties made fighting the fire more difficult.

“In this case, the two buildings along NE 2nd St had wood material stacked up between and behind their buildings,” Bend Fire said in a release. “The building behind the fire off NE 1st St had dense juniper bushes right up against the building in an area with only 10 feet between the buildings. The juniper bushes caught fire and broke out one of the windows in the back building. Had this fire not been caught as early as it was the potential that all three buildings would have burned is very high.”

It reminds home and business owners to create a defensible space for both wildfire safety and to limit the spread of other nearby fires.
