At 10:37 pm on Thursday, October 17, 2024, Deschutes County 911 began receiving calls reporting a structure fire at the intersection of Aspen Drive and Mahogany Street in SW Bend.  Initial callers reported a garage at 60984 Aspen Drive fully engulfed with fire spreading to adjacent trees and vehicles.  Multiple engine companies from Bend Fire & Rescue arrived on scene and quickly knocked down the fire.  Extensive overhaul operations were needed due to the large quantity of combustibles in the garage, but the fire was completely extinguished and units were able to clear the scene shortly before 3 am.  The garage and adjacent vehicles were a total loss, but the fire was kept from the home on the property with only some heat damage to the vinyl siding.  Losses are estimated at $120,000.  Red Cross assistance was not needed, as the home remains habitable.  

The fire is currently under investigation, more information will be released on completion of the investigation.
