Firefighters quickly stopped a wildfire Wednesday afternoon close to the popular Phil’s Trailhead west of Bend. Firefighters kept it to a quarter of an acre. Jean Nelson-Dean, spokeswoman for the Deschutes National Forest, said there is no apparent connection between the Pole Creek Fire, which started Sunday at a trailhead southwest of Sisters, and the fire at Phil’s Trailhead. The Phil’s Trailhead fire was started by a person; the cause is under investigation.
