Dry conditions, flammable native plants and encroaching development make the state forest at the heart of Martha’s Vineyard highly susceptible to wildfire, and officials are urging homeowners to help mitigate the risks.

Oak Bluffs resident Charles (Adi) Uchendu was one of several Massachusetts firefighters who went to Quebec to help Canada with the out-of-control wildfires.

No one was hurt after a Jeep caught fire on Sea View avenue in Oak Bluffs Sunday.

Charles Uchendu will spend the next two weeks working with Canadian firefighters to suppress the more than 100 fires that have been ravaging forests in the province since early this month.

A fire that started early Sunday morning has damaged Mikado, a restaurant that was planning to open this spring in the former space occupied by The Cardboard Box.

It’s not clear how much repairs will cost, but the fire burned through some shingles and into the building.

A fire broke out at a home on Laura’s Way at about 10:12 p.m. Saturday, according to the Oak Bluffs fire department. The single-family home was totally in flames when firefighters arrived and nearby residents were evacuated.

Students at the Oak Bluffs School are safe but the entrance to the school has been closed by the fire department.
