OKLAHOMA CITY — At least two dozen homes have been destroyed by grass fires that have burned thousands of acres across Oklahoma.

The worst fire continues to burn in the state’s south, where a four-mile-wide blaze has burned at least 20 homes. Air tankers are dumping fire retardant on the area. And a spokesman at the fire response center says the blaze is about half contained. Another fire nearby burned at least four homes near a high school.

Officials say more than 800 homes have been evacuated about an hour’s drive south of Oklahoma City.
