HARRAH, Oklahoma -- Firefighters battled a blaze at an oil rig in Harrah Sunday morning.

The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department said they responded to a call of a large fire at a rig around 9:30 a.m. Sunday. The sheriff's office says there have been no reports of injuries.

Officials say an exact cause of the fire hasn't been determined, but it's believed that lightning sparked an explosion in the tank-holding battery of the rig.

Both tankers hold about 4,000 gallons of crude oil.
