A wildfire in Shamrock is going from "home to home," according to an official from the Oklahoma state incident command center.

Officials said that three homes have burned so far in Shamrock, which is about five miles south of Drumright, and that the blaze was spreading.

In addition, a wildfire has reignited near Newcastle, along Highway 130.

Another blaze has five crews busy near the town of Dixon, which is northwest of Wewoka, near Wewoka Lake. Crews from Stroud, Kendrick, Davenport, Chandler and Agra are at the scene.

A wildfire reported near Hefner Road and Western Avenue was contained earlier Tuesday afternoon, but another popped up at Memorial and Interstate 35. That fire has also been contained.
