Please see today’s Mangum Fire update and smoke outlook from Southwest Incident Management Team #3. Weather Improves For Mangum Firefighters Thursday winds diminished and humidity levels rose over night to lessen fire intensity.
Firefighters made great progress around the fire. Other locations around the south, east, and west perimeter are steadily improving. The northern sections of the fire remained active but less intense than Wednesday as firefighters continued their efforts to secure anchor points and
construct lines. Wind direction changed late in the afternoon, becoming northwesterly. Today’s weather forecast is for west wind, warmer, and with lower humidity. Fire behavior will be active with smoke blowing eastward. Firefighters will
attempt to hold and secure fire lines, maintain anchor points, and on the northern section of the fire, construct new lines where needed.
