The incident occurred about 9:05 a.m. Wednesday outside of El Reno south of Interstate 40 near Banner and Jensen roads.
An explosion was heard before the fire broke out, an El Reno fire official said. Authorities think a tire blew out and friction sparked the blaze, said Maj. Ross Reuter with the Canadian County Sheriff's Department. The fire was under control by 9:30 a.m.
By 11:15 a.m., authorities rounded up cattle that had been released, Reuter said.
