Diamond Complex (ORUPF)

Wildfire Status:

The Diamond Complex, consisting of 33 fires that ignited on July 19, 2024, in the Umpqua National Forest, has made significant progress towards containment. As of October 9, 2024, approximately 90% of the perimeter is contained, with a total burned area of 11,141 acres. Two fires, Pine Bench and Potter, are still actively burning, with Pine Bench at 74% containment and Potter at 98% containment. The estimated date for full containment is projected for October 18, 2024.

Fire suppression efforts are ongoing, including the chipping of large slash piles created during hazard-tree removal along forest roads and the grading and repair of roads once heavy equipment has completed its operations. This coordinated effort follows a transition of command to a local Umpqua National Forest Type 3 team on October 9, which signifies a shift in management strategy as the situation stabilizes.

Currently, the weather conditions are favorable for firefighting efforts, although specifics regarding temperature, humidity, and wind are not detailed in the available information. The Umpqua National Forest remains under a fire closure order to ensure public safety, and additional updates will be provided as necessary on the Umpqua National Forest's official website.
