Local companies help woman repair fire-damaged home after News 4 story, more help still needed

OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — Two companies teamed up to repair the electrical system in an Oklahoma City woman’s fire-damaged house after the initial company she paid $60k to make the repairs—abandoned the job.

On top of that, the electricians with the new companies helping her discovered the initial company she hired did poor work — and covered up fire damage, instead of repairing it.

News 4 first reported about Cheryl McIntire and the nightmare of a year she’s been living, earlier this month.

“I keep thinking I’ll wake up, know, but when I wake up, it’s reality,” McIntire told News 4 on September 2. “I sure need help.”

McIntire and her daughter barely escaped with their lives when the Oklahoma City house she’s owned for more than 50 years caught fire in March.
