The Diamond Complex, burning on the Umpqua National Forest is 68 percent contained and listed at 11,152 acres as of midday Monday.

A UNF release said Sunday the fire lines were tested by the decrease of relative humidity and dryer conditions, leading to the 4 percent increase in containment on the complex. Crews are continuing to mop up, looking for remaining heat identified by infrared monitoring. Suppression repair is also continuing. In addition, an initial attack group including hand crews, engines, dozers, water tenders, falling modules and task force leaders are ready to respond swiftly to any new fire starts.
