Grass fires stoked by hot, dry conditions spread in Oklahoma on Tuesday, threatening some homes and prompting evacuations. Flames tore through trees and brush in south Oklahoma City, sending a cloud of smoke billowing into the sky. A local media source reported the fire had not burned any homes, but some residents evacuated as firefighters tried to control the blaze. The fire is thought to be moving north.
