Crews battle access to water as they fight Edmond home fire

An Edmond home was destroyed in a fire Thursday afternoon. This was near I-35 and U.S. Route 66 around 2 p.m. Edmond firefighters said they had to work fast to get water to the house because of how far the nearest hydrant was to the home. "The first crews had heavy fire coming from this roof," said Deputy Chief Chris Denton. The people inside the home are the ones who called 911 about the flames. "The residents were home at the time. They were able to get out safely. They are OK," Denton said. Denton says crews responded within six minutes of the call and immediately worked to get more water to the large fire. The flames were eventually contained, and now the investigation into how the fire started begins.

Firefighters Battle Heavy Flames At Tulsa Apartment Complex

Tulsa firefighters battled a large fire Thursday night at a vacant apartment complex near 61st and Memorial. The fire happened at the Vista Shadow Mountain Apartments. This complex is vacant after the fire department ordered tenants to move out back in 2021 due to unsafe living conditions. Firefighters said they got a call about the fire just after 10 p.m. Thursday night. They said they found heavy flames and smoke coming from the second floor. The complex has been fenced off and has active security on site so no one should be coming or going, firefighters said. However, Andy Little with Tulsa Fire said crews found bedding in one of the units and think it could have been from someone who is homeless and seeking shelter.
