The Rim Road fire, located along County Road 318, is currently at about 112 acres with no containment reported, according to a news release from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The blaze was first reported at about 3 p.m. Saturday.

Fire crews were working on containment lines on Sunday in an effort to keep the flames from reaching a nearby oil field, officials said. Some oil and gas operations were shut down as a precaution. Several air tankers were dropping fire retardant on the flames to reduce the heat.

The blazes have forced the evacuation of more than 50 homes, officials said.
