It was a busy weekend for firefighters in Southeast Kansas and Northeast Oklahoma beginning Friday and lasting through the weekend. Fire crews battled blazes in the Gap Road / Circle Mountain area and North of Oak Park on 3940 Road Friday and Saturday, with flare-ups fought yesterday.

 Melissa Mayes with Washington County Emergency Management says seven homes were burned in the Circle Mountain/Gap Road. Residents of Circle Mountain were briefly evacuated Friday, but most have returned home.

 The Oak Park neighborhood was not being threatened by the fire, but there was a lot of smoke. Crews from Rogers, Mayes, Muskogee, Ottawa, Delaware, Tulsa, and Craig Counties assisted in containing the fires.

 Washington County Emergency Management asks that you contact them if you or someone you know have lost your home or received fire damage. Their number is 918-331-2710. Crews are currently assessing damage and want to make sure everything is accounted for.
