The fire's growth was fueled by these extreme fire weather conditions[1][2][5]. **Containment Efforts** Firefighters from the Oklahoma Forestry Services (OFS) and other agencies have been working to contain the fire. Despite the challenging conditions, they have made significant progress in controlling the fire[3][5].
