FORT SUPPLY —
A wildfire burning near Fort Supply Lake in northwestern Oklahoma has led to the evacuation of about 30 homes and 120 camp sites.
Woodward County Emergency Management director Matt Lehenbauer said about 600 people were forced to leave the area Monday and one home has been destroyed, but it was about 90 percent contained Monday afternoon. He said the only injury was to a firefighter recovering from heat exhaustion.
Lehenbauer said fighting the 300-acre fire was made more difficult by southwesterly winds that were blowing at about 40 mph.
He said the cause of the fire is under investigation, but it may have started from a campfire that got out of control.
