Smoke Alarms, Utility Sabotage, and Weekend Fun - Bend Local Frequency
Published 3 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Sunday, January 25th.
We start with a safety reminder after a frightening fire early Friday morning in the Starwood subdivision. A home on Lyra Drive caught fire near the electrical panel in the garage, causing an estimated thirty-five thousand dollars in structural damage. What's important here is that the smoke alarms in the home didn't activate, even though smoke filled the house. It was actually a young child who woke up and alerted a parent that likely saved the family. Bend Fire and Rescue is urging everyone to check their smoke alarms, especially if they're older than ten years. Those aging detectors just don't respond the way they should.
Speaking of emergencies, Bend Police are looking for a suspect who damaged a Pacific Power utility box this week near Talus Place. High-voltage electrical wires were cut with bolt cutters early Wednesday morning, causing an explosion and fire. Investigators believe whoever did this likely suffered severe burns. The damage is estimated at over twenty thousand dollars.
Also making headlines this week, Oregon State Police responded to several serious traffic accidents across the state. One fatal crash occurred on Highway 20 in Malheur County Thursday, and another on Highway 212 in Clackamas County resulted in one fatality and serious injuries. These incidents serve as reminders to stay alert on our winter roads.
On a brighter note, there's plenty to do around Bend today. The Peking Acrobats are performing at the Tower Theatre, showcasing incredible feats of strength, grace and beauty. If you're looking for something more intimate, there's an afternoon tea at Blissful Spoon starting at three thirty, complete with treats and your choice of teas or mimosas. For the music lovers, School of Rock Bend is launching their first concert tonight at the Midtown Ballroom with a nineties rock experience that promises to be a real crowd pleaser. There's also speed dating at the Coyote for those in their twenties through forties, and bingo for a good cause with Beat Children's Theatre.
If you're feeling adventurous, there's an ultimate scavenger hunt happening citywide all day, perfect for getting out and exploring our community while having some fun competition with friends.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
