Today, the Northern Rockies Complex Incident Management Team 3, Incident Commander Mike Behrens, assumed command of the Diamond Complex and Middle Fork Fire.  
Yesterday about .10 inches of rain fell across the fire area and helped firefighters establish containment line on the most critical fires. Weather prevented the usual overnight infrared mapping flight, so no acreage update is available. The Diamond Complex on the Umpqua National Forest is estimated at 6,134 acres and 11% contained, with 475 people assigned.
The daily infrared mapping flight was not completed yesterday so acreages have not been updated. The Diamond Complex on the Umpqua National Forest is still estimated at 5,622 acres and 11% contained, with 506 people assigned. The Middle Fork fire within Crater Lake National Park is still estimated at 728 acres and 1% contained with 19 people assigned. The park remains open. There are fire personnel in the area, so visitors should use caution when traveling within the park.
