Oklahoma City Wildfires

We are watching the fires across the West and staying in touch with our contacts in each area of concern. OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Some Oklahoma residents have returned to emergency s helters despite evacuation orders in many areas of the state being lifted, as wildfires continued to burn. A "monster" fire had devoured almost 91 square miles and continued to burn between Mannford and Kellyville in northeastern Oklahoma's Creek County as light rain and cooler temperatures gave firefighters a brief respite early Sunday, said Oklahoma Forestry Services spokeswoman Michelle Finch-Walker.
