FORT SUPPLY, Oklahoma -- Fire units battled a large grassfire near Fort Supply Sunday afternoon.

With dry, windy conditions affecting Oklahoma and burn bans across the state, many area were under fire watch warnings.

Five different blazes also threatened Woodward. Many homes and buildings were in danger, but fire units were able to get control of that blaze.

About 1,000 acres were burned around the town of Woodward and there was one small house fire, but officials believe it was an electrical fire.
