********************

Fire crews are battling multiple fires in western Tulsa County, Pawnee County and Osage County.

KRMG's Russell Mills is on the worst of the fires along Rock School Road north of Sand Springs and near Sperry.

He reports that he can see multiple points that are burning and says it is difficult for crews to get to the fires.

KRMG's Chris Cordt talked with one woman who was being evacuated and she told him she was getting the family out and grabbing a few personal items.

There are additional fires burning in the Cleveland area.
