LA PINE — Fire crews continued to slow the Darlene Fire east of La Pine and hope to have it significantly contained within the coming days, according to Joel Basch, a spokesperson for the Deschutes National Forest who was at the fire Friday afternoon. The 686-acre fire was 5% contained Friday, fire officials said. Hand crews worked to put out hot spots along the perimeter of the fire, Basch said. It’s a long process, but containment levels will rise quickly as the process continues in the coming days, he said. “We’re in the mop-up stages,” he said. The National Weather Service dropped a Red Flag warning Thursday night initially issued Wednesday morning due to gusty winds and low relative humidity. Winds slowed and humidity rose Friday, which helped decrease fire behavior.
