Thick smoke covered the sky as wildfires raged across Oklahoma, turning neighboring areas into an arena of destruction. Emergency crews rushed to contain the damage, but the relentless flames showed no signs of slowing down.

On Friday, March 14, wildfires swept across Oklahoma caused by strong winds. In Logan County, several buildings were engulfed in flames as firefighters struggled to contain the rapidly spreading flames.

KOKO-5 field meteorologist Michael Armstrong witnessed the destruction firsthand. In a report from Highway 105 between Henny and Choctaw Roads, he described the scene as burning cars and a house.

“It’s burning down right in front of my eyes,” Armstrong said. “There are several cars burning here. Very strong wind gusts are causing a storm warning right now.” He called the situation “apocalyptic” as flames devour everything in their path. “Right now, everything around me is just incinerated,” he added.

Strong winds made it difficult to extinguish fires. Videos from the scene show flames devouring houses and cars, and thick smoke obscuring the air. Emergency crews tirelessly fought the fire, but the conditions were harsh.

Authorities urged residents to evacuate as the fires spread rapidly across the dry area. The full extent of the damage remains unknown, but officials have warned that the threat is far from over.

In Okmalji County, the Boldhill wildfire was completely contained, while the Gun Club wildfire was 90% contained. The forest fire in the Strips remained at the level of 50%, and the forest fire in Bever had an unknown localization status.

There have been several wildfires in Osage County, with varying levels of control. The forest fire in Acorn was 75% contained, the forest fire in Maker reached 70%, and the forest fire in Allotment reached 60%. However, the localization levels of forest fires in Pulara, Tangon and Bear remained unknown.
