Published 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Wednesday, March 25th. Kick off your day with some fresh Central Oregon vibes, where the high desert is buzzing with safety pushes, fire prep, and killer live tunes tonight.
First up, if youre hitting the roads today, buckle up and slow down because Deschutes County law enforcements Spring Break Blitz is in full swing through Friday. All six local agencies from Bend PD to Sunriver Police and Oregon State Patrol are teaming up for extra patrols, zeroing in on the Fatal Five speeding, distracted driving, impairment, no seatbelts, and lane drifts. With visitor numbers spiking and fatal crashes up statewide, this multi-agency effort is all about keeping our highways safe so you can enjoy spring breaks without the heartbreak. Expect more cops on patrol, but think of it as them having your back for those family road trips to the lakes or trails.
Out southeast of town, fire crews from Deschutes National Forest are igniting prescribed burns near the Camp II OHV area, starting today and running possibly through Friday. Theyre tackling up to 550 acres on Flank 5 first, then more on Flank 4, all to chew through excess fuel and shield Bend from bigger wildfires. Smoke might drift into view from the city or Highway 20, especially evenings, but theyre timing it to minimize hassle. Smart move for our fire-prone forests keeps our neighborhoods safer long-term.
