Crews in Oklahoma are battling a large fire at a manufacturing business outside downtown Tulsa on Tuesday, local officials said. Multiple photos of a large, black plume of smoke were circulating online, appearing to show the clouds emanating from the site of the blaze, just off the Arkansas River.

The city's fire department responded to an explosion at the statewide manufacturing plant earlier today. Smoke is still visible.

Tulsa Fire Department is on scene at 516 S. 26th W. Ave where employees tell firefighters, the fire started around a petroleum tank farm.

Crews are responding to a large fire near petroleum tanks in west Tulsa. Black smoke can be seen coming from the area near Charles Page Boulevard and South 25th West Avenue, near Riverside Laboratories.
