Crews douse grass fire

Embers from a stump-burning project burst into flame on Monday, November 4, sparking a grass fire along Indian Ford Road.

According to Sisters-Camp Sherman Rural Fire Protection District reports, the fire started at 70950 Indian Ford Road where some stumps had been burned on Saturday.

The stumps appeared to be out, but warmer temperatures and wind kicked up embers. The fire burned 28.5 acres.

Thirty-six firefighters from Sisters, Cloverdale and Black Butte Ranch responded along with state and federal firefighters.
