"The fire’s rapid expansion from 1,250 to 1,600 acres in just a few days, combined with the deployment of 14 personnel and a cost increase to $66,139, highlights the significant resources required to bring it under control."
The Alexander Trail fire, located 5 miles west of Nashoba in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma, was discovered on August 29, 2026. By the first NIFC update on August 30, it had burned 1,250 acres and was 10% contained, with 7 personnel on the scene and an estimated cost of $19,923. The fire grew to 1,400 acres the next day, still 10% contained, and by September 1 it had expanded to 1,600 acres and reached 20% containment with 14 personnel, raising the estimated cost to $66,139. Over the following days containment steadily improved—40% on September 2, 55% on September 3, 70% on September 4, 90% on September 7, and finally 100% on September 10—while the acreage remained steady at 1,600 acres and fire behavior shifted from extreme and active to moderate and then minimal smoldering.
