OKLAHOMA CITY -
The Oklahoma City Fire Department is investigating a large grass fire which damaged some apartment buildings in northeast Oklahoma City.
Fire crews said the fire ignited in a field near Hefner and Northeast 122nd Street on Wednesday afternoon. The grass fire quickly spread to the Summit Ridge Apartments.
Resident Elisa McCurley said she and her family fled as quickly as possible.
“It was definitely scary for us,” McCurley said. “We were worried. We didn’t know if we’d have a house to live in afterwards.”
“It was heartbreaking because when I went inside and saw the flames getting really tall, I was like, ‘We got to get out of here,’” Mike McCurley said.
