Hot, dry conditions and gusty winds pose a challenge for firefighters on the Flat Fire two miles northeast of Sisters.

The fire is estimated at 23,380 acres and 7% contained as of the latest update Thursday.

Officials say crews are focused on protecting the community and holding the line through this period of hot, windy weather.

While all Level 3 evacuations have canceled, many Level 1 and 2 evacuations remain in effect in Deschutes and Jefferson Counties.

Public lands are closed around the fire and officials ask people to stay out of the area.
