WOODWARD, Okla. (AP) — Authorities say a fire tore through an Oklahoma home, killing six people, including several children.
Todd Finley, the fire chief in Woodward, a city of roughly 12,000 people about 125 miles northwest of Oklahoma City, says one boy managed to escape the early Wednesday blaze after a firefighter heard a voice coming from the home and managed to jar loose a window air conditioner with the help of a bystander.
He declined to say how many of the six dead were children, but said the state medical examiner’s office would work to identify those killed.
