**Start Date/Time/Location** The South Tiger Mountain fire, often referred to as the Tiger Mountain fire, started on March 17, 2025, in the area near Exit 247 south of Interstate 40 in McIntosh County, Oklahoma. The fire originated from a controlled burn on a farm that got out of control[1][3]. **Size and Containment** The fire burned approximately 2,200 acres before it was contained. By the evening of March 17, the fire was largely under control, with flames persisting only on the outskirts of a local RV park[1][3]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire spread rapidly due to high winds and dry conditions, prompting immediate evacuation orders for the area around Tiger Mountain Road. Firefighters managed to prevent the fire from crossing I-40, which was a critical objective to avoid further spread[1][3]. **Containment Efforts** The containment efforts involved local and rural fire crews, including the McIntosh County volunteer department, with additional support from neighboring departments. McIntosh County commissioners also sent bulldozers to cut off lines where the fire could spread[1][3].
