Apartment Fire In Northeast Bend

Two Bend people were injured in an early morning fire at the Pinewood Apartments on NE Purcell. When police and fire units arrived, they found heavy smoke coming form the first and second stories.  The entire building was evacuated into the cold night air. The actual fire was confined to a single apartment and was apparently caused by a smoker falling asleep with a cigarette in hand, setting a mattress on fire. One apartment dweller was transported to St. Charles for treatment of minor burns and smoke inhalation. Another victim was treated at the scene. Once the smoke was ejected, most occupants were allowed to return to the building.
