SAND SPRINGS -  Sand Springs Fire Chief Mike Todd said all the wildfires in Sand Springs are "100 percent contained."

Rock Fire, Sand Springs Fire, Sheriff’s Office and police officers were out fighting three wildfires Friday afternoon. 

"Some of the hot spots are being monitored," Todd said. "I highly suspect it's arson."

Officials are looking for two males who were spotted on a red motorbike who they believe started the fires near Shell Creek Road.
