Bend Fire responded to a fire in the crawl space of a manufactured home at Rock Arbor Mobile Home Park on East Hwy 20 in Bend. Crews arrived to find black smoke coming from under the house. The fire had not spread to the interior and was extinguished quickly. The homeowner and neighbors were clear of the house when crews arrived.
 

The investigation determined that the owner and a neighbor were using a rodent smoke bomb to drive away rock chucks from under the house, but it caught the plastic vapor barrier on fire.

Damage is estimated at $10,000.
