Electrical Fire Damages a Sisters Home
A small electrical fire damaged a Sisters home Monday morning, prompting a reminder from officials about the importance of home safety checks.
According to Deputy Chief Tim Craig, Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District crews were dispatched to a report of a residential structure fire in the 100 block of North Cowboy Street shortly before 7 a.m.
Crews from Sisters-Camp Sherman, Black Butte Ranch, and Cloverdale fire districts responded to the scene, but Captain Pat Burke determined that the fire was isolated to an exterior outlet and could be handled by his engine crew.
The fire resulted in damage to the exterior siding and one window of the home.
This incident serves as a seasonal reminder to check smoke alarms when clocks "fall back" in coming weeks.
