Owasso -
It's becoming a familiar sight.
"Arrived on scene, had a large brush fire," said a fire fighter out in Owasso today, as crews from around the area worked quickly to keep the quickly moving flames at bay.
"Probably burned close to 55, 65 acres," he said.
"That's when I started to see ashes start to float around in the back yard," said Lacey Miller, taking the kids to see the source of the smoke they could smell from the house.
"Yes, it was scary," she said.
Her sentiment, an echo of yesterday's situation out in Sand Springs.
"Very scary, too close for comfort," said Lori Lay, watching as her husband drove a bulldozer to try and cut off a blaze near their house, another scene echoed from earlier in the day in South Tulsa.
"It's burned about 30 acres of grassland behind us there," said TFD official Stan May.
Fire after fire, aided by two main conditions.
"The wind, 16 to 19 mph winds, and it's extremely dry still," said Limestone firefighter Greg Long.
The good news? Tomorrow could bring a hint of rain.
"A little bit about a quarter of an inch, some spots like Okmulgee down to the south of tulsa could potentially see about 3/4 of an inch to an inch," said Channel 8's Jennifer Zeppelin.
Which sounds nice, until you hear how much rain we need to get out of the drought.
"It would take about 9 to 15 inches of rainfall to break the drought or at least to bring us back to a more normal pattern," she said.
