More fires may ignite across Oklahoma if state doesn't get rain, Forestry Service official says
SUMMARY: Throughout this week, Oklahoma has experienced heightened fire activity, with 105 fires consuming over 2,400 acres. Grass fires ignited in the northern metro area, including Edmond and along I-35. The Oklahoma Forestry Service warns that fire risks will persist into the weekend due to dry conditions and the approaching dormant season, which typically yields more flammable materials. Rainfall has been sparse, with over 25 days since significant precipitation. As a result, 24 out of 77 counties have instituted burn bans, although a statewide governor’s burn ban has not yet been declared, with conditions under daily review.

Woman claims she's been without heat and AC
SUMMARY: A woman living in Jasper Gardens has been without heat or air conditioning for several months, leading to frustration with her living conditions. Kalea Mary Ramsey, a tenant for over two years, resorted to using her oven for warmth and reported that repeated maintenance requests were ignored until recently. Although a maintenance worker assessed the central heating and air system, a part had to be ordered. Ramsey reached out to the property owner in Dallas and was offered a window unit and space heater. News 4 assisted in bringing attention to her situation, leading to some help for Ramsey.

National Weather Service says Oklahomans should have multiple ways to receive storm warnings
SUMMARY: Overnight storms pose significant risks, especially in Oklahoma, where recent tornadoes have devastated homes. The National Weather Service advises residents to be prepared with multiple ways to receive emergency alerts, such as weather radios and phone notifications, rather than relying solely on outdoor sirens, which are not effective indoors. Lead Meteorologist Vivek Mulhall emphasizes the importance of having a plan and knowing safe shelter locations, as warnings may not provide much notice. Residents are also encouraged to ensure their phones are set to receive and sound emergency alerts, particularly during nighttime storms.
