 Evacuations have been ordered in northwestern Oklahoma after a wildfire doubled in size and crossed into the state from the Texas Panhandle. Strong winds, dry grass and unseasonably warm highs fueled the blaze. A handful of wildfires were reported across Oklahoma over the past few days amid red flag warnings and fire weather watches in areas of the state. The largest blaze, known as the Smokehouse Creek Fire, closed highways and remained zero percent contained, according to the Forest Service. The largest current blaze in the Texas Panhandle, the Smokehouse Creek Fire, has burned at least 300,000 acres since igniting on Monday, fueled by strong winds and dry conditions, according to the Texas Forest Service. Hot and dry conditions caused by high temperatures and windy conditions are expected to continue in the region in the coming days, Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement. These conditions could increase the potential for these wildfires to grow larger and more dangerous. Mandatory evacuations were ordered for several towns in Texas, the Forest Service said. The National Weather Service office in Amarillo, Texas, said that a neighborhood in that city had also been ordered to evacuate. At present, rescuers and police are busy evacuating people from dangerous regions. There is no information about casualties. Dozens of houses and farms were completely burnt in a circle. The fire was caused by record heat and wind. Due to the fire, the nearby nuclear weapons plant stopped working. All employees of the plant were evacuated. For now, it is said that there is no danger to the plant.
