Progress Noted In Western Oklahoma Fire Fight

OFS

   

Firefighters are hoping higher humidity and milder winds will help them fight wildfires in Oklahoma.

U.S. Forest Service spokesman Todd Schroeder said Thursday that a fire near Leedey, about 110 miles northwest of Oklahoma City, that has burned about 440 square miles is about 15 percent contained.

A 106-square-mile blaze near Woodward, about 40 miles north of Leedey, is about 45 percent contained.
