At Least 10 Homes Damaged in Oklahoma Grass Fires

Grass fires damaged at least 10 homes and burned about 1,500 acres before crews were able to control them late on July 30, authorities in north-central Oklahoma said. Seven mobile homes and three houses were damaged in the fires in Payne County, said Stillwater Fire Marshal Trent Hawkins. “We’re in the process of releasing a lot of departments that responded from other jurisdictions, but we still have a lot of hot spots and flare-ups that are being reported that we’re sending units out on,” Hawkins said. “At a minimum, there will probably be two Stillwater units out here all night.”
