Sunday, May 19, 2013  At approximately 1pm May 18th Crook County Fire and Rescue responded to a fire Northwest of Prineville. The fire was started by a burn barrel and spread to a nearby barn. When crews arrived the barn was completely involved in fire and the fire had spread into the house. Crews remained on scene until 9 pm. Both the house and the barn were a complete loss. There was no report of injuries. The Red Cross is currently assisting the residents of the home. 
 
As of Sunday morning May 19th, the structure was still putting off a significant amount of smoke. There is still fire burning in the interior of the foundation. Unsafe conditions are preventing firefighters from extinguishing the fire completely.

Monday, February 11, 2013  In an emergency situation, how easy or difficult will it be for emergency personnel to find you?  If you do not have a new (or newer), properly placed emergency address sign, precious time can be lost as we search for your address.

We ask that you drive down your street and take a close look at how visible your sign really is. Please do this in the dark. If your sign is difficult for you to see, then it certainly will be for us.

The sign should be visible from both directions. It should be placed as close as is practical to the street. If you have more than one driveway, please make certain that the sign is at the primary, and most accessible driveway to you home.

Reflective address signs can be purchsed at the Crook County Building Department in the lower level of the Court House.  Your address is checked in the County database and a receipt is issued to bring here to the Fire Department.  We will then make your sign.  Thank you.
