Southeast Oklahoma Battles Timber Fire Ahead of Friday Red Flag Warning
Recent heavy rains have brought widespread relief and curbed fire danger across central and western Oklahoma, but dry conditions persist in the southeast. In McCurtain County, crews are actively fighting the South White Wolf Fire burning through timber. Ten counties across southern and eastern Oklahoma remain under active county burn bans as fire weather risks increase toward the weekend.
Key Fires
- South White Wolf Fire — Burning in timber southeast of Broken Bow in McCurtain County, the fire has exhibited active behavior including running and torching. State forestry crews have established containment lines around portions of the perimeter as suppression operations continue.
- Ozark Fire — Located in Kiowa County, the fire remains active under local monitoring. Substantial mid-week rainfall and higher humidity in the area are helping moderate fire behavior.
Conditions and Outlook
A Red Flag Warning takes effect Friday across southeastern Oklahoma, where gusty northerly winds and low humidity behind an incoming cold front will elevate fire danger. In contrast, recent heavy rains across central and western Oklahoma have kept fire potential minimal. Temperatures will drop noticeably statewide heading into the weekend, with winds moderating by Saturday.
Burn Bans and Land Management
Ten counties remain under county commissioner burn bans: Caddo, Comanche, Cotton, Haskell, Le Flore, Lincoln, McCurtain, Pottawatomie, Sequoyah, and Tillman. Restrictions in Le Flore and McCurtain counties prohibit campfires and outdoor burning across recreation destinations, including Beavers Bend State Park and the Talimena National Scenic Byway corridor.
What Residents Should Do
- Cease all outdoor burning and open campfires if you are in a county with an active burn ban.
- Secure trailer chains and avoid driving or parking on dry grass to prevent accidental roadside ignitions during gusty conditions.
- Observe campfire and charcoal restrictions when visiting state parks and public lands in southeastern Oklahoma.
