Firefighters continued to battle the Milli Fire outside Sisters over the weekend and on Monday morning, despite conditions that made it difficult to fly aircraft near the fire.

The fire, which was still 32 percent contained as of Monday morning, has now burned more than 18,000 acres to the southwest of Sisters, according to the fire managers.

Over the weekend, firefighters focused on burnout operations, igniting stretches of forest between Bluegrass Butte and state Highway 242. On Sunday, firefighters completed burnout to the lava fields north of the fire.

The plan was to continue aerial operations on Monday if conditions permitted. The goal is to establish a lower intensity fire in areas of the forest that haven’t been burned yet, according to the fire managers.

A public meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Monday evening, at Sisters High School, 1700 McKinney Butte Road. Fire officials have not announced any new evacuations.

Elsewhere in Oregon, a variety of fires, including the 5,800-acre Jones Fire, have closed trails in the Willamette National Forest. On Sunday, Crater Lake National Park notified visitors and employees at Mazama Village to be ready for a possible evacuation, in the event that the 8,000-acre Blanket Creek Fire approaches.
