SUMMARY: US intelligence agencies have issued warnings about potential threats as election day approaches, prompting Oklahoma officials to assure the public that security measures are in place, though specifics remain confidential. Some counties are increasing police presence and additional state troopers will be visible at polling places. Voters are reminded to maintain respect for others during the voting process, especially following a recent incident in Texas where a voter was arrested for assaulting a poll worker. Officials emphasize that threatening election workers or intimidating voters is a crime in Oklahoma. Early voting begins tomorrow.

Election officials: No imminent threat to any elections in Oklahoma

SUMMARY: The brush fire at the Wichita Mountains, which started last week, has burned nearly 12,500 acres and is currently over 75% contained, though it is still active with minimal flames. Officials believe a heavy piece of machinery used for vegetation reduction may have sparked the fire. Over 200 firefighters remain on-site to combat the blaze and monitor hotspots. Sky 5 pilot Chase Rutledge was the first to aerially survey the area last Friday. The situation is being closely monitored to ensure the safety of residents and prevent further spread.
