Good morning, Bend.

Local restaurants Dear Mom Cafe and Luckey’s Woodsmen are offering free meals and safe spaces to support Central Oregon wildfire evacuees and first responders in Bend and Sisters — a community effort to show appreciation for those on the front lines.

Fire crews are managing multiple wildfires after yesterday's storms brought lightning and gusty winds.

The Coyote Fire (17,412 acres, 25% contained) and the Henry Fire (18,700 acres, 10% contained) saw new spot fires near Paulina as officials secure containment lines and monitor conditions across central Oregon.

Fire officials and the sheriff's office adjusted evacuation zones for the Akawa Butte Fire affecting downtown Sisters after changing weather conditions yesterday.

Residents should check online for updates and follow the new Level 1 (Be Ready) and Level 2 (Be Set) guidance, as conditions can change rapidly.

Wildfire smoke from recent fires has forced residents indoors as Dr. Ian Smith of St. Charles Health System warns that strenuous outdoor exercise may worsen lung and heart problems — especially for people with asthma, COPD, or chronic conditions.

Residents should monitor air quality and listen to their bodies.

With wildfire smoke reducing indoor air quality, KTVZ News showed how to build an inexpensive air purifier using a box fan and a high-efficiency filter to help protect families in Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson counties through today, and the segment aired at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Hikers exploring Big Obsidian Flow today will find a .7-mile loop trail at Newberry National Monument that starts in a lodgepole forest and climbs metal-grate stairs to an overlook with views of Paulina Lake, Mt. Bachelor, and the Three Sisters, and visitors should wear sturdy shoes due to rocky terrain.
