Here is the Sunday morning update on other fires burning around the region, from the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center:

Central Oregon — Gusty winds, low relative humidity and hot temperatures persist across Central Oregon today. Stage 2 public use fire restrictions are in effect for all Central Oregon public lands prohibiting campfires and chainsaw use.

The Central Oregon Type 3 team is managing the Ten Mile Fire burning 11 miles northeast of Madras and seven miles south of the Highways 97 and 197 junction in rugged terrain. The fire is now listed at 4,809 acres due to improved mapping and 36% contained.

Firefighters continue to strengthen control lines around the perimeter, increasing the amount of cooled ground between control lines and the interior portion of the fire where juniper clumps continue to hold heat. The Jefferson and Wasco County sheriff’s offices have issued Level 1, 2 and 3 evacuations.

The Central Oregon Type 3 team is also managing Incident #586 just north of the Ten Mile Fire. Incident #586 has been mapped at 191 acres and remains in its footprint. Firefighters continue to secure existing control lines around the perimeter.

The North Crooked Fire, burning about 7 miles north of Paulina near Lightning Spring, is mapped at 31 acres. Firefighters continue to make good progress improving control lines and conducting mop-up operations by cooling hotspots around the perimeter.
