Please see today’s Mangum Fire update, map and smoke outlook from Southwest Incident Management Team #3.
Due To More Accurate Mapping, Acreage Decreases
On Friday, favorable weather conditions aided firefighters in securing preliminary lines around critical areas of the fire. Firefighters focused their
efforts on the southern, western and eastern edges of the fire. Crews work towards containment through successful firing and burnout operations and additional line construction.
Northern sections of the fire remained slightly active. Firefighters continued to limit the fire’s spread to the north by securing anchor points and
constructing line. BLM’s Winter Road served as a firebreak and was enhanced by utilizing masticators to reduce the fuel load alongside the road, resulting in a wider firebreak.
Today’s weather forecast calls for westerly winds, hotter temperatures, and lower humidity. Fire behavior will be active with smoke blowing eastward.
Firefighters will continue to hold and secure fire lines and anchor points around various portions of the fire. Anticipate that fire may spread east towards House Rock area.
