Bon, I imagine that rumor is true. I heard that Oklahoma County sent a Task Force to help them, at the request of the Logan County emergency management people. County Task Forces usually pull 1 truck each, along with personnel to man that truck, from various departments within a specific county. That allows a county to send some help without stripping them entirely of personnel and trucks they may need to fight fires in their own county. There have been and still are many fires today, but that one just may be the worst one in terms of the struggle to contain it. I hope everyone stays safe and that no further structures are lost. Our wind speed here has really dropped in the last hour and I hope the wind speeds in the rest of the state are dropping as well. Dawn

The ongoing wildfires can be seen on the linked radar for as long as the NWS leaves those particular radar images up on their website. One fire is in SW OK near Ft. Sill and the other is in Carter County. Here is a link that might be useful: Fire Locations on Radar

At noon the NWS issued a Red Flag Fire Warning to several counties in south-central and southeastern OK not covered previously. You can see them at the link below. It is in effect in these counties until 8 p.m. Here is a link that might be useful: NWS Webpage

Bumping this down the page. This fire warning has ended. A new one is in effect ror Monday and it is posted in its own thread.
