Skiatook firefighters were the first on the scene Tuesday afternoon to a blaze located near Avant.  Nine more fire departments were called in to help contain the fire.  Newson6 reports that National Guard troops were also dispatched to the area near Javine Hill Road between Skiatook and Avant..  A UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter with a 600-gallon Bambi bucket was used to help douse the flames.  Crews tried to take care of all the hotspots but had to call it quits due to darkness.  As of 10 P.M. Tuesday evening, no injuries have been reported.
