3.5x

Wind Speed

Controls the velocity of particle movement, simulating how wind speed affects ember and heat plume transport.

11mph

Wind Direction

The prevailing direction of the wind as provided by the closest NWS weather station, expressed in degrees.

N(0)E(90)S(180)W(270) 0degrees

Directional Randomness

Simulates turbulence and local wind variations by adding random fluctuations to particle trajectories, similar to fire-induced wind eddies.

12%
Particle Dynamics

Can also have dynamic values. Ie > Higher wind reduces scale decay. Or Higher acreage increases. More than 30 hotspots increases particle lifespan. Etc.

Particle Lifespan

Determines how long each heat visualization element persists, analogous to the duration of visible thermal signatures in infrared imagery.

30frames

Particle Density

Controls the concentration of visualization elements within each burst, similar to the density of detected thermal signatures in a given area.

20%

Particle Scale Decay

Determines how quickly particles diminish in size over their lifespan, representing the cooling and dissipation of thermal signatures.

60%

Particle Scale Variation

Controls the range of initial particle sizes, simulating the variation in intensity of thermal signatures across a detection area.

Particles Per Burst

Determines the number of thermal signatures released in each emission event, representing the intensity of individual heat releases.

3

Burst Duration

Controls how long each emission event lasts, analogous to the duration of individual thermal pulses in fire behavior.

0.3sec

Gap Between Bursts

Sets the cooling or rest period between emission events, representing the cyclical nature of fire intensity fluctuations.

1. Start Time & Info

**Start Date/Time/Location** The 328 Road Fire started on an unspecified date, but it is located ten miles southeast of Cleveland, Oklahoma, in Pawnee County[2][5]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest reports, the fire has burned approximately 739 acres and is 61% contained[1][3]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire has exhibited minimal fire behavior, characterized by smoldering. There are no reports of rapid spread, but residences in the area are still threatened[2][5]. **Containment Efforts** Firefighters are working to contain the fire under a full suppression strategy. The Oklahoma Department of Forestry and other local fire agencies are involved in the response efforts[2][5].

2. Evacuations & Closures

**Evacuations and Sheltering:** **Evacuation Orders and Warnings** There are no specific reports of mandatory evacuation orders or warnings for the 328 Road Fire. However, residents in the vicinity are advised to be prepared and monitor local updates[2][5]. **Evacuation Shelters and Information** No specific evacuation shelters have been mentioned for this fire. Residents should check with local authorities for any updates on shelter locations. **Estimated Number of People Impacted** The exact number of people impacted is not specified, but residences in the area are under threat[2][5]. **Road and Infrastructure Closures:** - There are no reported road closures directly associated with the 328 Road Fire. However, residents are advised to avoid non-essential travel in fire-affected areas to allow firefighters to work safely[2][5]. **For more information, visit:** - [Oklahoma Forestry Services Fire Updates]: https://www.forestry.ok.gov/wildland-fire-information - [National Interagency Fire Center Incident Reports]: https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn - [Zoom Earth Fire Maps]: https://zoom.earth/fires/us-ok-328-road-fire/

3. Current Impact

**Impacts:** **Injuries and Fatalities** There are no reported injuries or fatalities directly associated with the 328 Road Fire[2][5]. **Structures Impacted** Residences in the area are threatened, but no specific numbers of damaged or destroyed structures have been reported[2][5]. **School and Business Closures** No specific school or business closures have been mentioned in relation to this fire. **Notable Impacts** The fire is primarily affecting grass and timber areas, with minimal fire behavior reported[2][5]. **Safety Concerns:** **Power Outages** There are no reported power outages directly related to the 328 Road Fire. **Water Safety** No specific water safety concerns have been reported. **Burn Bans** A general burn ban may be in effect due to the high fire danger in Oklahoma, but this is not specific to the 328 Road Fire[3]. **Air Quality** While smoke from the fire could pose health risks, there are no specific air quality advisories mentioned for this fire.

4. Current Outlook

**Containment Projections** With the fire currently 61% contained, firefighters are working to fully contain it. The outlook suggests that containment efforts will continue, but the fire remains a threat due to the ongoing fire danger in the region[1][3]. **Weather and Wind Warnings** Anticipated rainfall in some areas of Oklahoma may help reduce fire danger, but the northcentral, western, and northwestern parts of the state, where the 328 Road Fire is located, have a low potential for beneficial rains. This suggests that fire danger could remain elevated in the near term[3].

5. Weather info

**Cause** The cause of the 328 Road Fire is currently under investigation and has not been reported[2][5]. **Weather and Climate** The fire is being fueled by typical Oklahoma fire weather conditions, including dry grass and timber. The region is experiencing a period of high fire danger, exacerbated by dry conditions and potential for strong winds. Anticipated rainfall may provide some relief, but the overall climate conditions remain conducive to wildfires[3].
