Isn't Duncan the World HQ for Halliburton?!
That's great livestock area too. Prayers Up!
Not any more - but it's their birthplace. They were in Dallas for quite a while and now Houston.
Halliburton still maintains a large presence in the Duncan area even though it's no longer their headquarters. Thanks for the prayers, they're greatly appreciated.
I've been monitoring the scanner and the fire north of Marlow has been completely put out. They're still fighting the fire south of Duncan and are heavily patrolling the lake areas east of Duncan looking for outbreaks.
There's a BOLO out for a white van seen by a citizen which was seen parked on the side of the road near where they believe the Marlow fire started. Needless to say, they expect it was deliberately set.
The local police are running up and down Hwy 81 keeping an eye out for fires and anything suspicious.
Listening to the scanner this afternoon I could hear the stress and worry in the voices of the people fighting the fires. The fire got big enough to where it created its own windstorm and doubled back several times on top of the firefighters. More than likely that's how the 2 firefighters who are in the hospital were overcome with smoke.
