The fire started in the Coronado National Forest near Oracle on May 21, 2025.<\/p>\n

Between the start date and its containment more than a week later, it destroyed five homes, burned eight structures, and engulfed more than 1,200 acres.<\/p>\n

Charla Wright, a Cody Loop resident, recalled the moment she saw the fire approaching her neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking up the road here; there\u2019s smoke. I went out on the road here, and you can see a big finger of fire,\u201d Wright said.<\/p>\n

She said that before law enforcement told her to leave, she knew it was time to evacuate.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody was calling each other, and I was looking for our neighbor. It was a panic,\u201d Wright said.<\/p>\n

Wright said she came home six days after the fire started and was shocked to see her home was still standing with minimal damage. Still, evidence of the fire remained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have pictures of hot pink from the fire retardant just covering the entire backyard,\u201d Wright said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was shocking, so that was hard. I think it took me a good four months before I totally relaxed. It was a traumatic experience, actually,\u201d Wright said.<\/p>\n

Wright said the fire caused a number of issues and still worries her.<\/p>\n

\u201cInsurance rates are an issue now to have coverage, so yeah, I think about it. But right now I\u2019m not worried, just because it\u2019s so kind of clear and we know we can get out,\u201d Wright said.<\/p>\n

Since the fire, the Forest Service has worked to minimize fire risk to residents through the Oracle Fuel Break<\/b><\/i> project to reduce fuel loading next to private and residential land.<\/p>\n

The chief of the Oracle Fire Department said that on days when fire risk is high in the town, the department is talking more about fire mitigation techniques as the brush and vegetation burned last year are growing back.<\/p>\n
