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.
LOL -- sometimes it IS truly better to ask forgiveness than permission!!
I talked to a couple of neighbors, and one of the guys on the neighborhood committee, and they said go ahead as long as I didn't build anything on the "green belt". So, chain saw, stump grinder, and John Deere, followed by bermuda grass seed, and I now have 250 feet to my north cleared. Left some oaks and three cedars, well separated from the rest, and feel much safer than before. Also the view is much better! Only down side is the skunks lost their habitat! LOL!
All my prayers for our Ok & Tx Freepers. We had fire trucks driving around in my area yesterday trying to figure out where all the smoke was coming from and it was pretty scary for a bit. Our home has about an acre of un-irrigated land behind it and it is grown up pretty bad, so today we did a bit a brush clearing. It was hard work because it is steep and has a deep ravine in the middle of property. I bought a bunch of oscilating sprinklers and let it run most of the day. It is tense around here as this neighborhood also backs up to a nature area a few blocks away. Pray for rain. Glad you are ok PKM.
