Latest Updates on LA Pine Fire News

As of January 13, 2025, no active wildfires were reported in the La Pine area of Central Oregon. The most recent significant incident was the Darlene 3 Fire in June 2024.

This wildfire rapidly expanded to approximately 2,415 acres near La Pine, prompting evacuation orders for over 1,100 homes and businesses. Governor Tina Kotek invoked the Emergency Conflagration Act to mobilize additional firefighting resources, including structural task forces from Linn and Marion counties.

The Darlene 3 Fire was successfully contained, and evacuation orders were lifted shortly thereafter. However, the 2024 wildfire season had a lasting impact on the local economy. Businesses in La Pine, particularly those in the hospitality and tourism sectors, experienced a significant downturn due to persistent smoking and air quality issues. Some establishments reported a 30% drop in sales during the summer months.
