Dubbed the Oak Fire by San Bernardino County Fire Department crews, the blaze broke out at around 2:00 p.m. and has currently burnt 35 acres near Sierra Avenue and Jurupa Avenue. 

Both ground units and air working crews are working on controlling the perimeter of the fire as it burns nearby neighborhoods.

There is currently 40% containment as the flames burn rapidly through light fuel, firefighters said. 

At around 4:30 p.m., firefighters issued evacuation orders and warnings, all of which have since been lifted as they continue to gain the upper hand on the blaze. 

A care and reception center has been set up for impacted residents at the Louis Robidoux Library located on 5840 Mission Boulevard in Jurupa Valley. People can also take small and large animals can be taken to the West Riverside Animal Shelter on 6851 Van Buren Boulevard.
