Oklahoma 2018 fire season: large grass wildfires in Osage County

I read about two large grass fires in Osage County Oklahoma when I accessed this morning's (February 5th) Morning Report from the Southern Area Coordination Center (under Southern Area Products, reports updated daily during fire season). You may also find information on these two wildfires in the February 5th Fire News Blog from the Oklahoma Forestry Services (under fire activity with OFS Response) where the OFS reports that an Aircraft has been dispatched. Note that the KJRH in Tulsa OK reports these fires as one fire. The two large grass fires are located near Hominy Oklahoma in Osage County, both were first reported on Saturday, February 3rd:

  • East Buford, burned 6,824 acres, at 40% containment (February 4th) 
  • West Buford, burned 1,215 acres, at 40% containment (February 4th)
