where are the oklahoma wildfires

Most of the current Oklahoma wildfires are in the northwestern part of the state , especially in Beaver, Texas, and Woodward counties, with some additional fire activity reported across parts of central and southern Oklahoma.

Key locations right now

  • Northwest Oklahoma (main hotspot)
    • Beaver County (Oklahoma Panhandle / Kansas border) – Large Ranger Road Fire burning across the Oklahoma–Kansas line, over 280,000 acres and only partially contained.
* **Texas County (Panhandle)** – Stevens Fire and Side Road Fire, both sizable grassland fires threatening rural areas and ranchland.

* **Woodward County** – 43/“43 Road” Fire near the city of Woodward, which prompted evacuations and has destroyed some structures.
  • Other counties seeing fires or hotspots
    Recent situation reports list dozens of smaller fires or hotspots in counties including Atoka, Beckham, Blaine, Bryan, Carter, Coal, Custer, Garvin, Hughes, Kay, Lincoln, Logan, Love, Marshall, Oklahoma, Okmulgee, Pontotoc, Pottawatomie, Stephens, Tillman, Woods, and Woodward. These are not all large wildfires, but they show fire activity is spread well beyond just the Panhandle.

Quick status snapshot

  • A State of Emergency is in effect for Beaver, Texas, and Woodward counties due to the ongoing wildfires and dangerous fire weather.
  • Containment varies by fire: some of the largest fires are only partially contained , and fire weather conditions (dry, windy, warm) mean new fires can start or spread quickly.
  • State and local agencies have fire crews pre‑positioned in places like Beaver County, Woodward, Henryetta, Shawnee, and Guymon to respond rapidly.

If you are in or near Oklahoma

  • Check your county emergency management , state emergency management, or local news for real‑time maps and evacuation info (conditions can change hour by hour).
  • Avoid driving into smoke plumes or closed highways , especially in the Panhandle near US‑64 and other major routes where roads have been shut due to fire crossing.
  • Follow any evacuation orders or warnings immediately; wind shifts can move grassfires very fast in open country.
