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.

As far as I know there have been no fires in the Bryant area. These fires are hitting in more rural areas of Oklahoma County where there are a lot of the old "cedar" trees that got up like matches and brush has been allowed to grow. IOTW, the people built large homes with shake roofs back in these areas and kept the scenery which is like keeping a book of matches next to your home and actually on top of your home.
When we built in Texas, my son and I took down every cedar tree on the property (not realizing it was against the enviromental regs but we didn't get caught -- almost but they were a pile of ashes by the time anyone noticed. Didn't know you couldn't clear out cedar (actually junipers) until my neighbor came over laughing.
