With no evacuations ordered but warnings to stay away from the river, locals are reeling from the devastation, especially after last year’s destruction of the Oxbow Bridge, which left the Farmer’s Bridge as the only crossing for miles. Compounding the crisis, federal funding cuts have left the area without a local fire crew, and a rejected grant for rebuilding the Oxbow Bridge still leaves the county without a vital crossing. While cleared zones are helping slow the blaze, if it spreads, it could endanger homes, a historic park, and a beloved country store—turning a rural community into a war zone.
