According to the Oklahoma Forestry Service (OFS) in the past few years, Oklahoma has seen wildfires similar to the ones raging in California right now.

Though wildfire activity has been less than normal in Oklahoma for October and November, more fires here are possible.

Freezing conditions have pushed plants and trees into dormancy, which makes for perfect kindling.

"Grasses, leaf litter, dead and dying timber, standing timber - all that stuff is considered fuel," Drew Daily with the Oklahoma Forestry Service said.

Daily said the wildfire risk is now dependent on the weather. Warmer, dry and windy days can be very dangerous. Though the recent rain and winter weather in Oklahoma has knocked the risk back.

"Decreases potential for fires to occur, but when they do occur, we have a little bit of a better opportunity to capture those," Daily said.

Right now, Daily says it looks like Oklahoma could see a less than normal amount of wildfire activity for the remainder of the fall and winter. He still warns people to be cautious.

"We’ve seen this regularly in Oklahoma, that things can change rapidly," Daily said. "The beginning of fall and through the fall season, is an excellent time to be very proactive in preparing your own residence and things you value for what may be potentially impacted by wildfire."

OFS recommends the following tips for fire safety during the coming months:

• Clearing leaves from gutters;

• Raking leaves away from home;

• Trimming hedges and bushes;

• Mowing grass short this time of year;

• Stacking firewood away from the home.
