City Of Bend Trying To Mitigate Wildfire Risk

BEND, OR  -- Wildfire in the Northwest has raised concerns of possible local fires here in Central Oregon. Bend City Manager Eric King says they’re doing everything they can to mitigate some of the risk. The smoke has impacted Bend for a week now. King says there are a lot of crews spread out across the state. He says it’s tough to deal with the smoke but he feels it would be a lot tougher if we were west of Cascades with the fire. They are trying to protect city employees from both smoke and COVID at the same time.
