I posted this in another thread, but I'll do it again.
Any OKC FReepers know if there are fires near the border of Del City and OKC? I've got a friend who lives off of 20th and Bryant, and I haven't been able to reach her for more than a day.
Thanks!

I think I heard something about 50th & Sooner, but that would be near Tinker, wouldn't it?
The fires currently burning are NW of Del City and the wind is out of the WSW so Del City is not in a direct line of danger right now...
You can look up the addresses here:

(fire is supposed to be in the area of 50th and Sooner, which would be southeast of the I-35 and I-44 intersection)

Most fire are burning east of OKC and south of Tulsa. Del City is mostly surrounded by urban areas so any fires that do pop up can be quickly put down by local fire departments. The problem they're having in more rural areas is a lack of roads where the firefighters can actually get ahead of a fire.
We had a strong cold front come through last night which has switched the winds around to where most of the fires are being blown back onto already burned areas. They may finally get the upper hand today.
