NORMAN, Okla. (KFOR) – The Norman Fire Department confirm fire crews are on the scene of a grassfire west of I-35 along the river.

Fire officials say vehicle access is difficult and around 10 acres have burned as firefighters work in this extreme heat to get the situation contained.

Authorities ask drivers to avoid West Lindsey between Ed Noble Parkway and Shadowridge Drive and find an alternate route.

No word on when the streets will re-open.
