Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Tuesday, October 1st, 2025.Let's start with what's happening around town today. If you've been planning any yard cleanup, you're in luck because outdoor debris burning officially opens at sunrise this morning in Deschutes County Rural Fire Protection District Number 2. Central Oregon fire agencies have determined that with cooler, wetter weather moving in and the region sitting at moderate fire danger, it's safe to start burning again. Just remember, debris burning is still permanently banned within Bend city limits, but campfires and recreational fires are still allowed if you follow proper safety precautions.Speaking of fire safety, mark your calendars for this Saturday, October 4th. Bend Fire and Rescue is throwing open their doors at the North Fire Station on Northeast Jamison Street from 10 AM to 1 PM to kick off National Fire Prevention Week. This year's theme is Charge into Fire Safety, focusing on lithium-ion battery safety. It's a family-friendly event with demonstrations and activities, plus you'll learn some potentially life-saving information about those batteries in your e-bikes, power tools, and cell phones.If you're wondering about getting around downtown, we have an update on that major construction project. The intersection work at Portland Avenue, Wall Street, and Olney Avenue that's been going on since last November might be running longer than expected. Originally scheduled to wrap up this fall, the city now says ongoing utility work and coordination with BNSF Railway could extend the Northeast Olney Avenue closure all the way through winter 2026. That's going to continue impacting traffic flow and local businesses in that area.Looking for something fun to do right now, the Bend Fall Festival is happening this weekend in downtown. You can expect live music, great food and drinks, plus plenty of fall family activities. And if you're feeling active today, there are Fall Foot Races happening this afternoon from 4 to 7 PM, including 5K, 10K, half marathon distances, and a kids run.This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
