Please see today’s Mangum Fire update and smoke outlook from Southwest Incident Management Team #3.
Mangum Fire Containment Increases to 68 Percent Tuesday firefighters working the northeastern segment of the fire stopped fire movement at House Rock road. Crews assigned to the north, south, and
west perimeters were initiating suppression repair, patrolling, and mopping up hot spots in areas that have been secured. As a result of the fire suppression effort, containment was increased to 68%. The weather forecast for Wednesday continues as the two previous days with hot, dry, and with very unstable atmospheric conditions. Firefighters, aided
by aerial retardant applications and water drops, will use handline tactics and dozers to continue efforts to limit fire spread today. On the active northeast segment of the fire firefighters will tie in newly created fire lines to existing, encircling the
fire. With 386 miles of line around this fire, it has been a tremendous effort. Closures: Highway 89A is closed from Mile Post 545 near
