Two Children Killed In Crook County Fire

PRINEVILLE, OR -- Two children were killed in a Crook County house fire Saturday morning.

Firefighters and Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the fire in Juniper Acres, off Southeast Cascade Way and Reservoir Road, just before 6 a.m. When crews arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames and most of the family had already evacuated. But the Sheriff’s Office says two children could not get out and died in the blaze. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

The Crook County Sheriff's Office thanked assisting agencies with this investigation, including Crook County Fire and Rescue, Deschutes County Fire and Rescue, Alfalfa Fire District, Oregon State Police, the Crook County District Attorney’s Office, and the Prineville Funeral Home. CCSO also extended thoughts and prayers to the impacted family.
