Firefighters Respond to Residential Fire in Oklahoma
I remember reading about the fire Thursday afternoon in Choctaw, and it really hit me how quickly things can change. Just after 2 p.m., firefighters were called to a home along Summerset Lane near Southeast 89th Street. By the time they arrived, the crews were already facing a major challenge: strong wind gusts making it harder to control the flames.
From the reports, about a quarter of the house was damaged. That might not sound like a full loss, but if you think about what it’s like to come home and see part of your life reduced to smoke and ashes, it really puts the scale of the incident into perspective.
Thankfully, no one was injured, which is a huge relief. I can only imagine the mix of fear and gratitude the residents must have felt in those moments…
