White Sage Fire Daily Update - July 31, 2025
Highlights
The White Sage Fire is 58,985 acres. Throughout the fire footprint, crews continue to repair suppression lines & firefighters are spreading seed into repair areas to promote regrowth of native plants. The Oak Point Fire, a small 85-acre fire about 8 miles south of the main fire, is 100 percent controlled. Previously, the White Sage Fire acreage had reflected the combined total for both fires. The Color Country Type 3 Team is coordinating closely with the North Kaibab Ranger District, BLM Arizona Strip District, and local cooperators to meet the needs of the changing fire conditions.
