Fire And Ice Fireplace In Tulsa
In TulsaA, series of house fires — some tied to a cold snap that has settled into the Tulsa area — damaged several homes Thursday night, underscoring the need for fire safety during chilly weather, authorities said.
The blazes scorched four homes and displaced nearly a dozen residents. The fires caused signifi-cant damage, but no injuries were reported, said Fire Department spokesman Bill French.
The cold snap which started the fires on Thursday night, burnt four homes and displaced almost a dozen people.
There were no injuries reported but there was significant damage caused reported Bill French, a Fire department spokesman.
The fires bring even more thought that fire safety is needed especially during these chilly conditions.
“Fireplaces are actually fairly safe,” he said. “The problem with anything other than a fireplace is people leave combustible materials close to them.”
Thursday’s first major blaze broke out about 5:15 p.m. when a man added a large pine log to a fire that he had started in his fireplace. The flames apparently became too intense and spread into the chimney and attic, French said.
