A fire in Woodward County has been burning for over three days.It seems like there is no end in sight. The fire forced people to evacuate their homes on Wednesday.By Wednesday night, there were no evacuations but the fight was far from over. Emergency managers said the fire was about 11 miles long. "The evacuation area was about 80 homes," said Matt Lehenbaur, emergency manager for Woodward County.The town of Mooreland was on high alert as the fire moved toward town. Firefighters were able to stop it from getting worse."It’s too dangerous to get the firefighters down there because these cedars ignite just in seconds," Lehenbaur said.A big challenge was the terrain. Small canyons and cedar trees are a bad combination."It’s like a bomb going off when that fire hits it," Lehenbaur said.The air attack was crucial. KOCO 5 was told that helicopters and planes were cleared on Wednesday after the fire started Monday, but there were more issues."The helicopter was out here and did about half a dozen drops and the bucket broke, so that really set us back," Lehenbaur said.Which led to another issue."We lost control of the fire once again, and we just don't have enough firefighters. We've exhausted our resources," Lehenbaur said.The biggest problem going into Wednesday night was personnel. Most of the firefighters were volunteers, so other agencies came in."These are mostly volunteer firefighters. It's the middle of the week, and the guys have to work, too. So, it's a challenge to get enough guys out here," Lehenbaur said.So far, 18,000 acres have burned and there was zero containment, as the heat and lack of rain complicated things.
