The Diamond Complex, burning on the Umpqua National Forest, is now 72 percent contained, and remains at 11,152 acres.

A UNF update said fire lines were tested Monday by the decrease of relative humidity and dryer conditions, leading to a 4 percent increase in containment. There was an increase in smoke activity due to drier temperatures. Suppression repairs are continuing on the fully contained fires, which restores areas impacted by firefighting efforts.

The Middle Fork Fire in the northwest corner of Crater Lake National Park remains at 5,280 acres and 2 percent contained. The north entrance to the park remains closed but the park is still open.
