Active wildfires in Oklahoma right now, the share of Oklahoma homes in the wildland-urban interface, and where to find official information. In a typical year, Oklahoma sees most of its wildfire activity from late winter into early spring — February through April — when dormant grass, low humidity, and strong winds line up across the plains; a second, smaller window opens in late summer and fall when drought sets in. The list and counts come from the federal wildfire feed; the WUI figures come from the SILVIS Lab at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The active-fire data refreshes every 15 minutes.

Homes in the wildland-urban interface
About 37% of Oklahoma’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 652,000 of 1.7 million statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. The share varies sharply by county: from about 8% in Tulsa County to about 83% in Payne County, around Stillwater.
The five Oklahoma counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:
- Oklahoma County
- Cleveland County
- Comanche County
- Payne County
- Tulsa County
Being in the interface is a description of geography, not a forecast of fire — it captures how close a building sits to vegetation that can burn. These classifications change slowly; the figures here come from the SILVIS Lab’s most recent revision of the 1990–2020 dataset, released February 2025.
