Sixty five years ago, 24,000 acres of forest and houses burned for 4 days in the southwest part of the state. We'll hear the dramatic details from Marlow resident and firefighter Charley Strickland, who was 15 when he helped fight his hometown blaze. And we'll talk to local historian Tracy Messer, the producer of new documentary about it called "Four Days of Fury."

We'll also get the latest on the many brush fires hitting the state this year, and how fire crews handle them today. Our guest is Brad Simpkins, Chief of Forest Protection for the Department of Resources and Economic Development's Division of Forest and Lands.
