Fire Season is Here

OFS

It is that time of year.

Vegetation has yet to turn green and gusty March winds whip across the plains. It is wildfire season in Oklahoma.

The State Forestry Service says you should be extra careful with any outdoor fire over the next several weeks as we wait for things to "green-up" acorsss Green Country.                                

The department says simple things like  welder’s torch or even a soldering iron can easily spark an accidental fire. 

There were numerous wildfires across the region yesterday, including fires at Mannford, Cleveland and Sapulpa.
