 Sheriff Sergeant Jason Wall says conditions are ripe for a fire to spread quickly, especially in dry brush outside Bend. We've tried to alleviate some of the pressure in some of these other areas, namely Chinahat and Juniper Ridge, with deputies that have water in their vehicle. Now, granted, it's a small amount of water when you're talking about a wildfire, but sometimes if we can get it put out quickly with water or maybe with shovels, sometimes just shoveling a line around something can help out fire personnel who show up with all the big tools.
