Oak Ridge Update as of July 1, 2025 as of 5:30PM

We are receiving reports that the Kinlichee-Cross Canyon area is receiving rain!

Earlier today, these communities went into “Set” status and remain in Set status, which means “Prepare to leave at a moment’s notice.” All communities are encouraged to stay alert, stay informed and to plan ahead.

With this moisture, we remain hopeful and prayerful the rain will continue over the ongoing Oak Ridge fire, which has burned around 9,887 acres, approximately 15.4 square miles. 

The Oak Ridge Fire still remains active with 409 personnel on scene, but we remain hopeful and prayerful! Continue to pray for our communities, livestock, and homelands!
