PHOTOS: The Jefferson Fire District battled a large hay barn fire off Century Drive near I-5. The agency said on Facebook that the fire could be seen from miles around and asked people not to call 911. โThe fire was contained to the structure, and we monitored it for any extension to surrounding brush and plowed fields,โ Jefferson Fire District said. โWe worked with the owner to come up with a plan to manage the fire.โ Several surrounding fire departments also responded, including the Albany Fire Department, the Scio Fire District, the Turner Fire District, and the Stayton Fire District. The fire was visible from an Alert Wildlife Camera from the Oregon Hazards Lab at the University of Oregon.
