OKLAHOMA CITY --
The Oklahoma National Guard was asked to send helicopters to the location to drop water on the fire.
After crews spent hours of trying to put out a wildfire that burned acres of land in Spencer, the fire reignited about 3:15 p.m.
A firefighter suffered an electrical shock during the firefight, crews said. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment. Crews at the scene said a power line shocked the firefighter. No further information on the firefighter's condition was immediately available.
Crews spent nearly 24 hours fighting the fire that originally began on Wednesday near Wilshire Boulevard and Post Road. On Thursday, the fire rekindled near Wilshire Boulevard and Westminster Road.
Deputy Fire Chief Cecil Clay said Thursday the blaze wasn't completely extinguished, and a shift in the winds moved the flames into areas of dry grass and cedar trees that haven't previously burned.
For the second time in as many days, heavy smoke billowed in the sky.
Acres upon acres of land were blackened by the massive blaze on Wednesday.
A shed had caught fire, and homes were threatened by the growing blaze.
As the shed burned, Eyewitness News 5 reporter Amanda Guerra noted firefighters weren't nearby. Their hands were full battling the blaze in other areas.
Clay said about 20 fire personnel are trying to protect homes in the area but no evacuations were ordered and no injuries had been reported.
Clay said the Oklahoma National Guard has been asked to send helicopters to the location to drop water on the fire.
A burn ban was in effect for much of the state as dry conditions continued to plague residents.
