Fire crews in western Oklahoma have been battling a massive fire for days.

The fire started northeast of Mooreland on Monday.

More than 8 counties fire departments were called to help battle the blaze on Monday.

Tuesday, the fire continued to grow, stretching across more than 12 miles.

Two firefighters have been transported due to heat exhaustion.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said Tuesday night that he has approved air support from the National Guard and State Forestry Service.

There are currently no active evacuation orders. No homes have been lost in this fire but several barns and other outbuildings have been destroyed.
