Why is Oklahoma seeing an increase in wildfires?
In the last three years, the state of Oklahoma has seen three megafires. Officials classify a fire as a megafire when it burns more than 100,000 acres. In the last week, more than 300,000 acres have burned across the state. WPEC lead meteorologist Jeff Berardelli joins CBSN to discuss why this increase is occurring, where the fires are burning and when the state can expect to see some relief.
