The Kiowa County Task Force was also requested to assist. Responding departments from Kiowa County included Gotebo, Lone Wolf, Hobart, Saddle Mountain, Snyder, Cooperton, Mountain View, Sedan, Hicks Mountain and Roosevelt.
The Oklahoma Forestry Service provided additional ground and air support during the response.
The cause of the Calvary Creek wildfire has not been determined or released. Officials have also not confirmed what caused the fire to spread so quickly.
