Problem is writer the state has zero idea on acres burned. It simply a product of the reporting system. We are lightyears behind everyone else in wildfire preparedness and response, however we are trying to catch up.

My friend that owns a ranch on the Cimmarron said the fire came within 15 miles of his place. Scary stuff considering some of those fires last year went 50 mph and he lives in a big log house. Butler County lost a fire truck yesterday but thankfully both occupants made it out alive
