REDMOND, OR -- Firefighters responded to a fire at a Redmond animal bedding company late Friday, after passersby spotted smoke coming from the back of the property. Crews responded to the manufacturing facility on Southeast First Street at about 10:30 p.m. and discovered fire inside an enclosed conveyor belt area and baghouse.

The sprinkler system prevented the flames from spreading to the main warehouse. Investigators determined it was caused by an overheated bearing on a roller in the conveyor belt, igniting wood dust.
