Crews were able to quickly knock down the flames and keep the fire from spreading to the rest of the structure and the nearby businesses, Crook County Fire said.

Two people were taken to St. Charles Prineville for smoke inhalation.

The cause of the fire has been ruled accidental due to a fire in a large commercial smoker.
