Wildfires Rage in Western Oklahoma

State Forestry Service

The fire fight continues across western Oklahoma. Three major fires continue to burn. Oklahoma State Forestry Service spokesman Luke Kanclerz is on the fire line. He says progress is slow. 

Governor Fallin has declared a state of emergency for northwest Oklahoma. Additional crews and supplies are being brought in from Arkansas to give firefighters a break.

Kanclerz says it will be days before they can total up the homes and barns that have been damaged or destroyed.
