1. Start Time & Info

**Start Date/Time/Location** The Hog Mountain Fire started on or around March 18, 2025, in Latimer County, Oklahoma, approximately 7.5 miles northeast of Wilburton[1][3]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest reports, the fire has burned 938 acres and is 90% contained, although earlier reports indicated 70% containment[1][3]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire initially spread rapidly due to favorable fire weather conditions, including high winds and low humidity. However, the growth has slowed down as containment efforts have progressed[1][3]. **Containment Efforts** The fire is being managed by the Oklahoma Forestry Services, with support from local and state agencies. Despite the containment progress, firefighters continue to work on fully controlling the fire[1][3].

2. Evacuations & Closures

**Evacuations and Sheltering** - While specific evacuation orders for the Hog Mountain Fire are not detailed, the broader wildfire situation in Oklahoma has led to various evacuation orders across the state. For example, evacuation orders were in effect for areas such as Northeast of 68th and Underwood in Payne County, North Lincoln County, and near Mannford in Creek County[2][3]. **Evacuation Shelters** Several shelters are open across Oklahoma, including: - Community Church, I35 & Seward Rd NW Corner, Guthrie - CrossPointe Church Norman, 2601 24th Ave SE, Norman - Vici Community Center, 604 Main St, Vici - Stillwater Community Center, 315 W 8th Ave, Stillwater - Luther Community Center, 18120 Hog Back Road, Luther - Other locations listed in the sources[2][3]. **Road and Infrastructure Closures** - Various road closures have been reported across Oklahoma due to fires and high winds, but none are specifically attributed to the Hog Mountain Fire. However, general road closures include: - SH-48 from SH-33 to SH-51 in Creek County - SH-16 from SH-33 to Shamrock in Creek County - US-60 between County Road 4461 and Pawhuska in Osage County - Other locations listed in the sources[2][3]. **For more information:** - [Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management Wildfire Situation Update]: https://oklahoma.gov/oem/news/newsroom/wildfire-situation-update-3---march-16-2025.html - [Oklahoma Forestry Services Fire Information]: https://fires.cornea.is/fire/hog-mountain-fire/ - [Oklahoma Department of Transportation Road Conditions]: https://www.okroads.org/

3. Current Impact

**Impacts:** **Injuries and Fatalities** While there are no specific reports of injuries or fatalities directly attributed to the Hog Mountain Fire, the broader wildfire situation in Oklahoma has resulted in 200 reported injuries and four confirmed fatalities[3]. **Structures Impacted** There is no detailed information on structures damaged or destroyed specifically by the Hog Mountain Fire. However, statewide, more than 400 homes have been damaged due to various wildfires[2][3]. **Power Outages** There are less than 1,000 power outages statewide, but no specific information on outages related to the Hog Mountain Fire[2][3]. **Safety Concerns:** **Air Quality** The fire may contribute to poor air quality, but specific air quality indices for the Hog Mountain Fire area are not provided. Residents are advised to monitor local air quality advisories[1][3]. **Burn Bans** A county-issued burn ban is in effect due to extreme fire danger conditions across Oklahoma[1][2]. **Health Risks** Residents, especially those with respiratory conditions, are advised to stay indoors and use air purifiers if possible due to smoke from the fire[1][3].

4. Current Outlook

**Containment Projections** Firefighters anticipate continuing efforts to fully contain the fire, with the current containment at 90%. The fire remains a threat due to ongoing dry and windy conditions[1][3]. **Weather and Wind Warnings** A Red Flag Warning and Fire Weather Watch are in effect for much of Oklahoma, indicating gusty winds, low humidity, and dry vegetation that can exacerbate fire behavior. There is a possibility of rain late in the weekend that might ease fire danger in some areas[1][3].

5. Weather info

**Cause** The cause of the Hog Mountain Fire is currently under investigation and has not been specified[1][3]. **Weather and Climate** The fire is being fueled by extreme fire weather conditions, including high winds and low humidity. Oklahoma is experiencing persistent dry conditions, with much of the state exceeding critical fire danger thresholds. The weather conditions, including gusty winds and dry vegetation, are exacerbating the fire's spread and intensity[1][2][3].
