Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAbnormally dry conditions along with low relative humidities and strong winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts near 40 to 45 mph resulted in critical fire weather conditions in the central Oklahoma Panhandle. Complicating the fire weather concerns was a cold front which pushed across the Oklahoma Panhandle during the early evening hours shifting the strong and gusty winds around to the northwest. A wall of blowing dust from eastern Colorado moved across the central Oklahoma Panhandle creating additional problems for the fire fighters and reducing visibilities.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe Clawson Ranch Command wildfire began about four miles north of Hitchland Oklahoma in Texas County around 1321CST in CRP grass and open pasture land. The wildfire consumed a measured eight hundred and fifty-eight according to the Oklahoma Forestry Services and was caused by electrical arcing off power line. There was one home and one other structure that were threatened but were saved. There were no reports of any homes or other structures that were damaged or lost from the wildfire, however one engine was badly burned due to extreme wildfire behavior as the fire went under the engine. The engine was able to be driven away and parked. There were no reports of any injuries or fatalities. The Hardesty Volunteer Fire Department, the Guymon Fire Department along with the Hooker, Optima, Tyrone, Baker, Adams, Goodwell, Beaver, Turpin, Balko, Slapout, and Gruver, Texas fire departments responded to the wildfire. A Type 3 Strike team was called to assist with the wildfire out of Beaver County and the wildfire was finally contained around 2000CST.
