As Oklahoma reels from deadly wildfires, authorities warn of fresh fire threat
Advertisement With wind gusts predicted to reach as high as 50 mph (80 kph) in the afternoon, along with dry conditions and 'receptive fuels,' fires could spread rapidly, the weather service said. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'These fires, once they get started, become really hard to stop,' said Keith Merckx of Oklahoma Forestry Services. 'They move more quickly than our resources can keep up with.' He said officials will be returning their attention to western and central Oklahoma, where high winds were expected to pick back up again over the next few days. Much of the state will be back under fire warnings beginning at 11 a.m. Tuesday. Andrine Shufran and her husband spent Monday raking through the ashes of their home in a neighborhood in Stillwater that she said 'looks like a checkerboard' after the recent fires. 'There's no predictability or fairness about destroyed houses,' Shufran said. 'There's only two options for the homes in our neighborhood: standing or burned to the ground.' Her home was one of more than 70 destroyed by wildfires in Stillwater, a city of about 50,000 about 65 miles (100 kilometers) northeast of Oklahoma City and home to Oklahoma State University. Shufran, a director at Insect Adventure, a petting zoo that's part of OSU and the university's extension campuses, said current and former students, friends and city officials have stepped in to help her and her husband.

Stillwater Mayor Will Joyce warned on Facebook on Monday afternoon of worsening fire conditions in the area. 'Be prepared to take action quickly, if necessary,' he wrote. Southwest of Stillwater, residents in two parts of rural Logan County were urged to evacuate their homes Monday afternoon after wildfires that already burned more than 47 square miles (120 square kilometers) in the county since Friday picked back up amid high winds and dry conditions. An evacuation shelter had been set up at the county fairgrounds in Guthrie, said Logan County Deputy Emergency Management Director Shawn Pierce. Pierce said an estimated 54 homes were destroyed in last week's fire in the county, which is about 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of Oklahoma City. About 10 fires continued to burn in Texas on Monday as officials geared up for more high winds Tuesday, said Texas A&M Forest Service spokesperson Erin O'Connor. Although most of the fires have been contained due to slower winds Sunday, Texas officials were expecting wildfire danger to ramp up further into the week, O'Connor said.

As Oklahoma reels from deadly wildfires, authorities warn of fresh fire threat
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — With Oklahomans still reeling from deadly wildfires that whipped across the state and destroyed hundreds of homes in recent days, authorities warned that Tuesday would bring a renewed risk of fire to an area spanning from western Oklahoma through the Texas Panhandle and into southeastern New Mexico. More than 400 homes were severely damaged or destroyed in the outbreak of wildfires that started Friday in Oklahoma. At least four people died due to the fires or high winds, including a person killed in a vehicle accident as a result of poor visibility due to dust or smoke, officials said. While calm weather over the weekend helped crews get a handle on most wildfires burning across Texas and Oklahoma, forecasters at the National Weather Service said extremely critical fire weather conditions were expected Tuesday in parts of Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. With wind gusts predicted to reach as high as 50 mph (80 kph) in the afternoon, along with dry conditions and 'receptive fuels,' fires could spread rapidly, the weather service said. 'These fires, once they get started, become really hard to stop,' said Keith Merckx of Oklahoma Forestry Services. 'They move more quickly than our resources can keep up with.'
