Oklahoma Forestry Services is warning conditions in the state are ripe for wildfires.
From Sunday to Tuesday, almost 7,000 acres burned across the state.
On Wednesday, residents in the Kendrick area of Lincoln County had to evacuate because of a wildfire.
According to Deputy Director of Lincoln Co. Emergency Management Cody McDonell, one firefighter was injured while battling the 700 acre blaze near Kendrick.
Another fire broke out on Sunday in Lincoln Co. in an area south of Wellston along S 3330 Rd.
Wellston Fire Chief Todd Beesley explained that the dry conditions in Oklahoma are the perfect recipe for the fires.
"There were spot fires. Just from the cedars throwing embers off, and it's so dry, and those spot fires were popping up pretty quick," explained the fire chief in reference to Sunday's blaze.
14 different departments coordinated in responding to the Wellston-area fire.
The chief further shared that, "You need to be aware of the conditions outside before you decide to do any type of outside burning." He speculates that human error may have played a role in Sunday's fire.
Chief Beesley recommends that residents keep their grass cut short and remove debris like tires from close to their homes.
Drew Daily, deputy chief of Oklahoma Forestry Services, asserted that, "This summer has proven to be quite the dry summer. And we've been in the grips of La Niña pattern."
He added that, "That La Niña pattern generally just translates into above normal temperature and a drier expectation while it is in place. And that has surely played out."
A map from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln shows drought conditions across the state. Such environmental conditions can also play a role in increasing the possibility of wildfires, according to forestry services.
