We’ll continue to monitor this story closely and bring you any significant updates as they arrive.In other local news, a statewide emergency remains in effect due to wildfire risks, but so far, Bend itself is seeing only mild smoke this morning. It’s a good idea to check your air quality index before heading out for any outdoor adventures.Moving on to civic happenings, Deschutes County Commissioners are meeting today at 9 a.m. at the Barnes Sawyer Room.
