OFFICER BRENT LARSON was patrolling in The Dalles Watershed Wednesday, Sept. 4, when he spotted a fire burning in a broken snag three-tenths of a mile inside the perimeter of the fire containment lines.

Larson called dispatch, which sent a fire suppression crew to deal with the problem. “The boss of the crew I made contact with and who subsequently put out the fire was Christian Jckowski, who works for a crew out of Maupin/Bend,” Larson wrote.
