Did you hear a big BOOM about 8 this morning in the county? People wondering what it was.

Not a good idea to be burning things even though our county is not under a burn ban. The County Commissioners are who votes on burn bans here, unless the Governor himself issues one. Beavers Bend State Park is under a burn ban issued by Oklahoma State Parks. Yesterday’s fire was from a contractor’s burn pile getting out of control, per the Hochatown fb page.

Despite some recent rainfall, flash drought conditions continue across the entire Four State Region. As a result, much of the region is under a Burn Ban at this time. The wildfire threat will continue with no significant rainfall expected through the first week of September.

We have received a lot of 9-1-1 calls about the fire North of the Timbuktu area and have spoken with the Hochatown Fire Chief who is monitoring it. We have been told the fire is contained and will most likely burn all night.
