"The GRACEMONT fire grew from 1,135 to 2,690 acres in just over a week, requiring a peak deployment of 200 personnel and an estimated cost of over $4.5 million, illustrating the rapid escalation potential of wind‑driven wildfires in the region."
The GRACEMONT wildfire, located 6 miles east of Binger in Caddo County, Oklahoma, was first discovered on September 13, 2026. By September 14 it had burned 1,135 acres with no containment, and by September 16 the blaze had expanded to 3,000 acres, still uncontained, with 174 personnel on the scene. The fire’s behavior shifted from extreme wind‑driven runs and crowning to active wind‑driven runs with short‑range spotting, and then to isolated torching and creeping as containment rose to 45% by September 18. Rapid progress followed, reaching 99% containment on September 22 after burning 2,690 acres, and the fire was fully contained by October 2 with minimal creeping and smoldering activity. The incident’s cause remains undetermined and jurisdictional agency information is not provided.
