MADRAS, Ore. (AP) — Fire officials say a fire in an electrical panel at a mill in Madras, Ore. has caused an estimated $280,000 damage.

Tom Jaca of Jefferson County Rural Fire Protection District No. 1 says the fire in Plant 5 at the Bright Wood mill was reported early Friday. A sprinkler system kept it from spreading.

Jaca says the cause of the fire is under investigation.
