Multiple Large Wildfires Prompt Evacuations, Some Orders Lifted Across Western US

Multiple wildfires across the western United States are causing significant concern and evacuation orders. In Carson City, Nevada, a 75-acre fire on C-Hill broke out late Friday night and is being actively contained by more than 70 firefighters, with evacuation precautions lifted but residents advised to stay alert. The Barber Canyon Fire near Winnemucca, Nevada, grew to over 4,200 acres, prompting evacuation orders for nearby communities, though those orders were later lifted as the fire posed no imminent threat to structures. In Okanogan County, Washington, the Gun Dog Road Fire burned approximately 40 acres and is now contained, leading to the lifting of evacuation orders except for a few areas still under advisories. On the Navajo Nation near the Arizona-New Mexico border, the Oak Ridge Fire has burned over 10,600 acres with only 6% containment, resulting in ongoing evacuations and road closures, with officials urging residents to stay clear to allow firefighting efforts. Authorities across these regions continue to monitor conditions closely, warning residents to be prepared for changing circumstances due to terrain, wind, and fire behavior.
