PENDLETON – An RV fire was the cause of smoke in Pendleton on Sunday night according to officials.

Pendleton Assistant Fire Chief Brian Hemphill said the fire broke out on Adams Road, just outside city limits. Crews from Pendleton Fire, Umatilla Tribal Fire, and the East Umatilla Fire District responded to the scene at approximately 11:30 p.m.

Firefighters brought the blaze under control by 12:49 a.m.
