BEND, OR -- Bend Fire crews battled their second small brush fire in as many days, after a passerby noticed smoke coming from below homes in the Hillside Park neighborhood.
The blaze was reported at about 11 a.m. Wednesday, just off Northwest 12th. Residents put water on the flames before fire crews arrived, helping to hold it at less than a tenth of an acre.
Fire officials say it was human caused, but could not determine the specific origin.
