■ STATE FIRES
Continued from Page 1
A firefighter from the community
of IXL in eastern Oklahoma died Fri-
day morning after going into cardiac
arrest while fighting a fire near
Okemah. He was identified as
Nathaniel Quinn, chief of the IXL Vol-
unteer Fire Department.
At least 10 other firefighters, four
in Payne County in north-central
Oklahoma, suffered injuries while
fighting blazes.
"These are some of the worst fire
conditions our state has seen in 20
years." Gov. Frank Keating said in
declaring a state of emergency in all
77 counties.
A lack of rain and low humidity
had turned vegetation into dry, brittle
kindling.
State forestry officials estimated
wildfires had consumed at least
150,000 acres, and perhaps as many as
250,000, in the past 10 days. Fires in
Beaver and Woods Counties in north-
western Oklahoma each devoured
more than 20,000 acres.
A grass fire north of Lawton ignit-
ed around 10 a.m. and injured at least
three firefighters while temporarily
closing down seven miles of Interstate
44 near Elgin.
One of the firefighters was report-
ed in critical condition at Integris Bap-
tist Burn Center in Oklahoma City
with second- and third-degree burns
Another was in serious condition at a
Lawton hospital.
Two Okemah firefighters were
treated for smoke inhalation and
released. In Payne County, three fire-
fighters were injured when their fire
truck crashed cn route to a fire west of
Stillwater, said Stillwater Police Chief
Norman McNickle. A fourth firefight-
er suffered smoke inhalation.
In Cushing, two firefighters were
hurt when fire trucks collided in thick
smoke. A Bartlesville firefighter was
hospitalized for smoke inhalation
while battling a blaze that threatened
the Woolaroc wildlife preserve.
Winds carried grass fires into New-
castle, destroying at least two homes.
F ires ravaged homes in Skiatook and
evacuations continued into the
evening as the fires spread.
Perry firefighters were working on
one blaze when a spark from a freight
train apparently ignited another one,
forming one huge fire, fire officials
said.
Meganne Williamson, office spe-
cialist for the Ardmorc-Cartcr County
Emergency Management, said grass
tires destroyed homes in the Gene
Autry and Springer areas.
Grass fires also burned in an area
encompassing Perry, Stillwater and
Perkins.
"I've never seen anything like it in
my life," said Scott O’Quinn, an Okla-
homa State University fire protection
student who was helping fight a fire
west of Stillwater. “This was just
moving so fast. We’d sec it coming
over the hill and they'd say ‘Get
ready’ and then it would be right on
top of you. Smoke so thick you could
hardly breathe."

the 206 mile marker due to smoke
Friday.
Experts attribute the fire conditions
to a combination of above-average
rainfall last spring, bclow-avcragc
rainfall this winter, cold temperatures
earlier in the winter and high temper-
atures recently.
High rainfall last spring produced
lots of growth in grass and vegetation.
But since October, the winter in Okla-
homa has been the driest on record,
and cold temperatures killed some of
the dormant vegetation. Recent warm
temperatures left plenty of tinder-dry
grass.
Smoke and haze from grass fires in
Oklahoma has even been visible on
satellite photos.
Sapulpa firefighters reported three
grass fires Friday that burned an esti-
mated 640 acres.
Firefighters reported a bridge on
fire near Hcyburn State Park Saturday
