Containment on the Diamond Complex, burning on the Umpqua National Forest, is up to 78 percent with the acreage remaining at 11,152.

A UNF update said containment increased by one percent on Thursday. Hotter, drier weather is leading to a slight increase in fire activity of internal fuels. There has been no growth in the fire’s perimeter, but some fuels have ignited near the fire’s perimeter. Crews continue to implement direct and indirect strategies, utilizing natural barriers where appropriate. Fire crews continue to patrol and mop up, locating and extinguishing areas of residual heat to the extent necessary on the fire edge.

The Middle Fork Fire in the northwest corner of Crater Lake National Park is at 5,281 acres and is now 42 percent contained.

Fire updates:

*Pine Bench Fire remains at 3,990 acres with containment still at 65 percent

*Potter Fire continues at 3,418 acres with containment up to 38 percent
