Guymon Firefighters were called Tuesday afternoon at 2:50pm to the area behind the Girl Scout Office at 1002 NW. 5th for a reported grass fire. “Upon Fire units arrival, found fire and smoke showing behind the building on the steep slopes leading into the over flow area behind Sunset Lake”, said Assistant Fire Chief Grant Wadley. Three fire units from the Guymon Fire Department responded and were able to quickly extinguish the fire before it extended into trees and brush next to the building. Less than an acre burned before Guymon Firefighters had the fire completely out. Dry conditions, moderate south winds, and high temperatures made this area particularly dangerous for fire activity.
Office workers were present inside the Girl Scout building at the time of the fire but were not aware of the fire behind the building. Fire Investigators have listed this fire as suspicious in nature and asking the public for any information on this fire. They can contact the Guymon Fire Department (580) 338-5536 or the Guymon Police Department (580) 338-6525 with information.
