Wildfires - Oklahoma, USA
Crews are battling two wildfires in rural eastern Oklahoma that have burned more than 10 square miles combined.
Oklahoma Forestry Services fire management chief Mark Goeller said the first fire in Haskell County was about 50 percent contained as of Thursday afternoon, but might continue to burn for another two days. Goeller said no homes or other structures were immediately threatened.
A second fire was burning about 5 miles northwest of Wilburton in Latimer County, but Goeller said officials haven't determined how much of it has been contained.
Both counties are located in part of the state experiencing the worst drought conditions.
