The 2025 Oklahoma wildfires were a series of wildfires that burned in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.

Background

Fire season in Oklahoma typically occurs in the early and late months of the year, such as November or March. Due to the grassy fuels in Oklahoma, one of the main factors that pushes fires is wind and dry fuels. Peak fire season is usually in March, the windiest month on record for Oklahoma.

Summary

The 2025 Oklahoma wildfire season began in late February with multiple fires over 1,000 acres due to severe Red flag conditions across the state caused by high winds. By March 5, most of these fires were marked contained. On March 14, a major historic storm event caused high winds to push over 130 fires throughout the state rapidly, destroying over 300 homes and burning over 170,000 acres. On March 15, Governor Kevin Stitt declared a state of emergency due to the wildfires, which caused one death and over 100 injuries. Wildfires continued to occur in the state throughout the month of March.
