Central Oregon — Fire crews were able to increase containment on the Darlene 3 Fire during both day and night operations. A Central
Oregon Type 3 team and the Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) Red Team remain in unified command, and all incident personnel
continue to focus on full suppression and containment.
The fire is currently 3,889 acres and 42% contained. Cooler temperatures and calmer winds during the day on Thursday allowed crews
to increase containment lines with the help of dozers and retardant drops. Some spotting occurred yesterday to the east, but crews
continue to aggressively seek and suppress any spot fires beyond the current containment lines. Crews have established patrols
around the entire perimeter of the fire and will take advantage of the cooler, calmer weather over the next two days to harden
containment lines and reduce the risk of flare ups within the burn footprint. Teams have been successful in protecting key community
assets, including the La Pine Community Cemetery off Reed Road, power lines, a cell tower and the city’s water supply. Due to
decreased fire threat to the community, fire managers were able to release some of the OSFM structural protection task forces to their
home agencies.
A virtual community meeting will be held at 4pm today via Facebook, streaming live on Deschutes County Sheriff’s Facebook page. To
watch, please visit https://www.facebook.com/DeschutesCountySheriff. This meeting will provide fire updates to community members
and incident personnel will be available to answer questions. The meeting will also be broadcast live beginning at 4 pm at the Red
Cross evacuation shelter at La Pine High School (51633 Coach Rd). For anyone unable to view live, the recording will be available on
the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Facebook page.
As of 12:00 pm today, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office has reduced the evacuation level for Newberry Estates from Level 3 (Go
Now) to a Level 2 (Be Set). Additionally, the area west of Hwy 97 and north of Burgess Road has been reduced to no evacuation status.
As residents return to their homes, fire personnel ask that community members remain vigilant for emergency response vehicles
traveling to and from the fire, and to give fire apparatus plenty of room especially as smoke in low-lying areas may affect visibility. A
Level 3 evacuation order remains in effect for parts of the Deschutes National Forest, and fire personnel are asking residents and
visitors to adhere to area closures that are still in effect.
Some recreation areas in the Deschutes National Forest remain closed, including 6 Mile Sno Park, Prairie Campground, McKay
Crossing Campground, Ogden Group Campground and the Rosland OHV play area and associated trails. An Area Emergency Closure
is also in effect on the Deschutes National Forest, the notice and closure map are available on the Forest’s website here:
https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1183408.pdf. Paulina Lake Road and Forest Service Road 22 east of the
closure boundary are still open for public use. The Prineville District Bureau of Land Management’s Emergency Public Land Closure
also remains in effect. This closure notice is available online at: https://www.blm.gov/programs/public-safety-and-fire/fire-and-

6/26/2024 Update
Central Oregon — Firefighters have increased containment to 60% on the 1,024-acre Long Bend Fire. The fire is located approximately
two miles southwest of Maupin on the west side of the Deschutes River.
Firefighters will continue to identify and extinguish sources of heat within the fire perimeter to further secure control lines. Most of the
remaining heat is still along Wapinitia Creek so crews and aircraft will primarily focus their efforts in that area again today. Crews will
also continue to patrol the flanks of the fire that are contained to ensure the fire stays within the established containment lines. Aircraft
will assist ground resources by dropping water to cool hot spots as needed.
There may be temporary delays for river users when helicopters are dipping water out of the river again today. Boaters should use
caution and follow directions from firefighters and river staff. Boaters should also avoid pulling over within the fire perimeter as the fire is
still not fully contained and there could be hot ash pits, rolling rocks, or other fire-related hazards.
The incident will transition back down from the Central Oregon Type 3 Incident Management Team to a Type 4 Incident Commander at
6 a.m. tomorrow, June 27. This will be the final written daily update for the Long Bend Fire.
Resources assigned to the incident include 1 Type 2 initial attack crew, 5 engines, 1 Type 2 helicopter, 1 Type 3 helicopter, and 12
overhead personnel.
The fire started the afternoon of Saturday, June 22. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The Pioneer Fire is burning in the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness Area on the Chelan Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee
National Forest and on private land 31 miles northwest of Chelan. Recent fire activity and smoke have been very limited. Sunny,
warmer temperatures are forecasted for the upcoming weekend and the communities of Stehekin, Chelan, and Manson continue to
welcome visitors to enjoy the area.
Pioneer Fire managers are using a full suppression firefighting strategy. They aim to minimize impacts to private property, public
infrastructure, and natural and recreation resources, with the least risk to responders and the public. Two of the full suppression tactics
being used on the fire are indirect attack and point zone protection. For indirect attack, firefighters work further away from the fire’s
edge to establish control lines. These lines are typically improvements of natural or human-made barriers such as roads, rocky areas,
or large water bodies. Improvements include removing burnable materials like trees, vegetation, and duff. For point zone protection,
crews are bringing in pumps, hoses and sprinklers, and in some cases protective wrapping, to increase the chance that a structure or
group of structures will withstand fire if it reaches that location.
Yesterday, firefighters assessed a bridge up Prince Creek. They moved hoses and pumps to Moore Point, to stage equipment for future
operations. Crews moved additional equipment from Lucerne for brush removal. Today, they will continue working to protect structures
outside the fire perimeter near the lakeshore. In Stehekin, crews worked up Boulder Creek, clearing brush and snags. Today, they will
continue to implement the structure protection plan. Two miles of grading and road brushing were completed along Black Canyon Road,
from the Black Canyon Snow Park to support ground operations from the east. The air quality outlook is at
https://bit.ly/PioneerFireSmoke. Learn more about smoke at smokeready.org.
WEATHER: Expect warmer temperatures today with decreased humidity and a low probability of rain. Winds
may increase and are predicted to shift from down lake in the morning to up lake in the afternoon.
EVACUATIONS: Evacuation levels are unchanged since June 16th. Visit https://t.ly/QoH9w for updates.
PIONEER FIRE CLOSURE ORDER: The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest updated their closure for portions of the Lake Chelan-
Sawtooth Wilderness and surrounding areas. The closure includes: Prince Creek, Cascade Creek, Moore Point and South Navarre
campgrounds; several trails; and the 8200 (Grade Creek)
road system. Further details, including maps, are available at: https://bit.ly/PioneerClosure.

High overnight humidity moderated fire behavior, allowing the night shift to make significant
progress plumbing the fire. Crews have now plumbed approximately 80% of the fire, including direct and indirect lines. There are direct
and indirect lines around 100% of the fire. Steep slopes and falling trees and rocks are continuing to challenge resources. The fire
remains GPS mapped at 756 acres. An infrared (IR) flight is scheduled for today.
Overnight, firefighters were not able to complete firing operations due to the high relative humidity. Four portable water tanks were
installed in strategic locations to help address spot fires on the top of the ridge in division foxtrot. Additionally, resources also worked to
mop up portions of fire.
More than 430 personnel are assigned to this incident, including 18 20-person crews, six engines, five tree fallers, four bulldozers and
numerous overhead. Four helicopters of various sizes are assigned to the fire again today, with additional helicopters and air tankers
available when needed. Resources remain focused on bolstering the line, especially on the eastern side of the fire, which has been
difficult to work.
Level 2 – BE SET evacuation notices remain in effect by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and Emergency Management for Zones
JAC-434 and JAC-436. More information about zones and locations is available here: https://protect.genasys.com/.
This fire is affecting private, BLM and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) land on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. It was first
reported in the late afternoon of Thursday, June 20. The cause of this fire is currently under investigation.
The fire danger level on the ODF Southwest Oregon District is moderate (blue) and regulations are in place. Please be aware of and
follow all current restrictions to help reduce the risk of fires in our communities. Fire season information is also available online at our
