How to see fires near you right now

Because wildfire locations and containment change hour‑to‑hour, you should use a live map for precise “where is it right now” info:

  • Wildfire & smoke map tools
    • Interactive maps track active wildfires and smoke plumes across Oklahoma and neighboring states, updating from incident and satellite sources.
* These sites let you zoom to your town, see per‑fire details (start time, status, acreage), and check air quality.
  • Official state updates
    • The Oklahoma state government and Forestry Services issue alerts for evacuations, road closures, and burn bans, especially for Beaver, Texas, and Woodward counties during this event.

If you tell me your nearest town or county, I can help you interpret whether these current fire zones are likely close enough to affect you (smoke, road closures, or evacuation risk) based on the general regions listed above.
