Tuesday, January 17th, 2006 — Fueled by high winds and dry conditions, wildfires across Oklahoma scorched more than 2,700 acres and destroyed at least one home on Sunday. Eighteen fires were reported Sunday to the Oklahoma Fire Response command center in Shawnee, the largest a blaze north of Stillwater that had consumed 580 acres. In addition to high winds and unseasonably warm temperatures on Sunday, the state is more than a foot behind its normal rainfall of about 36 inches for this time of year.
