Firefighters from nearly two dozen agencies are working to contain a massive wildfire that's burned 11,000 acres over three days in Southwest Oklahoma.

Blinding smoke from the Rush Fire forced the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge to close on Saturday.

On Sunday, fire responders confirmed the fire is only active in the Special-Use Are of the refuge but said heavy smoke is a concern for nearby residents.

No evacuations are currently in place. Authorities said the fire is at zero percent containment.
