Firefighters make progress securing perimeter lines northeast of Rattan

The Tram Trail Fire is burning in timber and understory northeast of Rattan near Cloudy in Pushmataha County.

Firefighters continue working to hold the perimeter while local officials urge the public to keep roads clear.

Evacuations and Closures

  • The public was urged on September 15 to stay off Tram Trail and avoid travel on narrow dead-end roads to prevent blocking emergency equipment.
  • Residents in surrounding communities were advised on September 15 to monitor their properties closely for spot ignitions from wind-blown embers.
