In the early hours of last Saturday, December 1, Elk City firefighters responded to a structure fire in the 400 block of W. 6th Street. The blaze, reported around 2 a.m., engulfed a vacant residence and required swift action from C-shift crews.

We are asking anyone with knowledge or information related to this incident to come forward,” said Captain Sammy Weygand. “Your tip could make a significant difference.”
