Oklahoma City Fire Department Tackles Two Separate Kitchen Fires; Residents Safe, One Dog Perishes

Yesterday morning, the Oklahoma City Fire Department (OKCFD) responded to a house fire near NE 63rd St. and Coltrane Rd. in northeast Oklahoma City, as well as an incident near Northwest 63rd Street and College Avenue. Crews arriving at the northeastern site located the fire within the kitchen area, managing to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading beyond the kitchen and dinette. District Chief A. McCann, in a statement obtained by

KFOR

In a separate event, the OKCFD was to also promptly respond to a house fire in northwest Oklahoma City. Upon arrival, firefighters found heavy fire emanating from the back of the house, specifically originating in the kitchen. Andrew McCann told
