## Resource

A small brush fire near the South Santiam River in Lebanon sparked Sunday evening, covering just over an acre—but that didn’t stop firefighters from deploying creative tactics, including a portable pump drawing water directly from the river. To prevent spread, Oregon’s Department of Forestry brought in a dozer to dig a containment trench. Crews battled the blaze for nearly three hours, ensuring every ember was extinguished. Officials are still investigating the cause, but they’re warning everyone to stay vigilant amid hot, dry, and windy conditions—because even a tiny spark from a cigarette, vehicle, or carelessness can ignite a wildfire fast.
