A fire to a Bend facility caused $20,000 damage but didn't cause any disruptions Sunday. Bend Police arrived first to find a fire on the exterior of the building, identified as the West Bend Sewer Lift Station. Fire crews arrived around 6:40 a.m. and were able to keep the fire spread into the building to a minimum. Bend Utility Department was contacted and representatives responded. This building pumps waste collected from much of the west side of Bend out to the treatment plant on McGrath Rd. By keeping the fire primarily contained to the exterior, the operations of the building have been kept intact. A loss of this station could've resulted in a loss of sewer capacity for a large part of town and possible discharge in the river. Crews are working at the facility today to ensure the fire is cleaned up and the building is kept safe. According to Bend Fire, it appears the fire was caused by a propane space heater associated with an outdoor sleeping area set up by unknown persons on the back side of the building. Bend PD is working to identify those associated with this set up. The heater appears to have caught combustible materials in the camp on fire and spread to the building. Luckily the walls of the building are concrete and thus limited the spread of fire initially. By the time the fire was noticed and crews arrived on scene though the fire had spread up to the wood framing of the roof structure. At this time the fire appears to have only damaged the building and all operations inside were spared any damage. The damage is estimated at $20,000.
