BEND, OR -- The Bend Fire Department blame a Bar-B-Q left on for a house fire on NW Delaware, early Sunday morning. The homeowner and her two boys awoke to the sound of smoke detectors and the smell of smoke at about 1 a.m. They all safely evacuated.
Investigators say radiant heat from a Bar-B-Q on the back porch ignited the home’s siding. That blaze caused an estimated $45,000 in damage.
