How to follow a fire in Oklahoma
The map above shows every wildfire in Oklahoma that is still in the national incident system — new starts often appear within hours, large fires are updated at least daily. Red dots are fires under 50% contained; grey ones are fully contained but not yet declared out.
For evacuation orders, follow your county sheriff or emergency management office and sign up for your county's emergency alerts: fire agencies report the fire, counties order evacuations. Red flag warnings from the National Weather Service mean the weather — wind, low humidity, dry fuel — can make any new fire spread fast.
