Prescribed Burning Planned In Southeast Bend More prescribed burning is scheduled Tuesday in southeast of Bend. Fuel specialists with the Deschutes National Forest with assistance from Bend Fire and Rescue and the Oregon Department of Forestry will underburn 252 acres between the national forest lands and private lands. The prescribed burning on the private lands is being done in coordination with the private landowner using Good Neighbor Authority. Ignitions were to begin on Monday, but delayed by weather conditions. Ignitions will begin at approximately 9 a.m. and should end by 5 p.m. Smoke and residual burning will be visible in the area for up to a week post ignition. Subdivisions and neighborhoods on the south and east side of Bend can expect some nighttime and early morning smoke impacts after project implementation. Sunriver and Newberry Caldera could also be impacted if smoke settles to the south, southeast.
