DAYVILLE, OR -- Central Oregon fire crews responded to nearly two-dozen fires over the weekend. The largest has burned over 4,000 acres, eight miles north of Dayville. Crews are working to construct a fire line around the "Sugarloaf" fire, and officials estimate it's about 20% contained.

 

Officials say a few rain showers Monday morning have helped slow the fire's growth in the grass, juniper and pine trees. A red flad warning remains in effect today.

 

Officials believe Most of the weekend's fires were started by lightning that moved through Friday and Saturday night; However, investigators say a small blaze on Round Butte, southwest of Madras, was started by kids playing with fireworks.
