A fourth firefighter was injured in a separate, unrelated crash and was also transported to a hospital for treatment.
Officials did not immediately provide details about the severity of the fourth firefighter’s injuries, NewsOn6 reported. Emergency crews continue to battle multiple fires across the state.
Evacuation orders were issued in Beaver, Texas and Woodward counties as wildfires scorched more than 155,000 acres across Oklahoma, according to KOCO. Two fires near Woodward have since been contained and evacuation orders there were lifted, but an evacuation for the town of Tyrone in Texas County remained in place.
Officials warned that Wednesday would bring another day of high fire danger, with a red flag warning extending to the Oklahoma City metro. Numerous structures were destroyed in Woodward, Texas and Beaver counties, including two USDA facility buildings.
