Hi PhiKapMom,

Down here in the Duncan to Rush Springs area we're under a red flag warning until midnight. About 15 minutes ago I stepped outside to let the dogs out and the smell of wood burning is extremely strong. I turned the scanner on and they've located area's of smoke but haven't located fire. They're also looking for someone who has been seen stopping alongside the county roads and trying to start fires.

The fire that they're looking for is west of me and the wind is out of the west blowing steady at 20-25 mph with gusts to 35.

I heard on the news that we are getting the smoke from the fires in Western OK and the TX panhandle -- seems the winds have been that strong. There is a smell of smoke in my house right now. The reporter on Channel 5 said his sinus have acted up from all the smoke and they asked everyone to stay inside.

Good thing I heard his comments or I would have gone around checking for fires around here.
