An intense fire burned through a tobacco field on Noah Road near Benson Monday evening.

It happened just north of I-40 off Highway 96 around 7p.m.

No one was hurt in the blaze, but the flames destroyed at least eight tobacco barns.

Several drivers on I-40 called 911, because they could see the smoke from the highway.

Officials have not said how the fire started.
