Good morning,

Red Flag Warning in place for most of Oklahoma as very dry air again surges across the state priming wildland fuels to support rapid rates if fire spread as above normal temperatures and windy conditions continue. An approaching cold front will challenge control lines on recent wildland fire activity and present potential for changes in spread direction this afternoon.

Avoid all activities that may spark a wildfire today! If you have had any outdoor burning, prescribed burning or controlled burns in recent days, please take the time to ensure that they are dead out and not the source of new wildfires today!

Even though it looks calm outside, dry winter grasses burn faster than most people expect. Fuels are cured, moisture is low, and the combination of warm temps and wind means fires will run.

READY:
• Clear dry vegetation around your home and fence lines.
• Keep equipment, trailers, and vehicles away from tall grass.
• Check that chains, mowers, and tools aren’t throwing sparks.

RESPOND:
If you spot a roadside fire or drifting smoke, call 911 right away. Quick reporting makes a huge difference during fast-moving grass fires.

RECOVER:
If your property is impacted by fire, save receipts, photos, and reports to help with insurance claims.

Fire safety is a community effort — thank you for doing your part.

Now is a good time to start prepping fire breaks for your early spring prescribed burns!

Not All Firebreaks are the Same

GOOD FIREBREAKS
Bare Ground: Dozed, bladed or disked
Exiting Road: County, ranch, lease roads
Mowed Line: Mowed months beofre & wet-lined at burn
Crop Field: Green or cultivated
Waterbody: Creek, stream, river, lake

BAD FIREBREAKS
Narrow Mowed Line: Fire can creep, flames may reach across
Mowed Just Before Burn OR Tall Stubble Height: Piled thatch & standing vegetation

BETTER FIREBREAKS = SAFER BURNS
Prepare in Advance: months to weeks before ideal burn day
Wider is Better: 10 ft minimum, allow room for vehicles passing
