On July 18, the Swamp Wells Trail Fire ignited off of China Hat Road roughly nine miles south of Bend. The fire grew from two acres to 64 acres overnight, and fire officials warned that it had the potential to grow rapidly.  It didn’t, and firefighters were able to quickly contain it. The location of the fire, however, raised troubling questions for some homeless service providers, as China Hat Road is the location of one of Bend’s largest homeless camps. For example, what if the fire had rapidly spread toward the woodland camp? And since many homeless people lack access to phones and internet, where fire warnings are typically issued, how would camp residents be promptly notified? And for those without vehicles, how would they evacuate?
