In Oklahoma, 2 Pocasset Firefighters were injured and the fire apparatus in which they were working was lost in a grass fire north of Chickasha this afternoon. The Firefighters were operating at a fire off of US 81 north of Chickasha when their truck was overtaken by the fire. The Firefighters were both taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment of 2nd- and 3rd-degree burns. The injuries are serious but reported to not be life threatening. One of the injured Firefighters, Christie Rainey, is also the mayor of Pocasset. We wish them a quick recovery.
