Hazy skies Sunday afternoon may have been the result of winds driving smoke from other fires burning in Oregon, according to Patrick Lair, a public affairs officer for the U.S. Forest Service.

Lair wrote in a news release Sunday that there were at the time no large fires in the Central Oregon Fire Management Service area, though the fire danger locally remains extremely high.

Local firefighters are still responding to small, human-caused fires, but there are no large active incidents on the Deschutes or Ochoco National Forests, the Prineville Bureau of Land Management or the Crooked River National Grassland.

Lair said that according to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland, a 900-acre wildfire was reported yesterday about 12 miles east of Warm Springs.

The Stouts Fire in Southern Oregon has spread to about 22,000 acres and is 35 percent contained, according to the fire’s information office.
