Firefighters Still Working Fires Across Oklahoma

Firefighters caught no break as new grass fires continued to break out in parts of Oklahoma and others rekindled from days before. At least 13 homes were destroyed in Edmond, while homes and outbuildings also were burned by fires elsewhere in eastern Oklahoma, authorities said. Some firefighters were treated for heat-related issues as temperatures again soared into the 100s, but no other injuries were reported. “Right now, we’re in the recovery phase,” Edmond Assistant Fire Chief Tim Wheeler said. “We’re making sure the fire stays within the perimeter.”
