Crews battle several fires across Oklahoma City metro

KOCO 5 crews were at three different scenes overnight.

WELL, TWO OF THOSE THREE FIRES STARTED IN VACANT HOUSES. AND THE THIRD STARTED IN A CAR. YOU CAN SEE THIS MAP HERE OF WHERE THOSE FIRES HAPPENED. ONE IN SOUTHEAST OKC, ONE IN EDMOND, IN THE THIRD IN SOUTHWEST OKC. THIS WAS THE FIRST SCENE IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA CITY JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT. FIREFIGHTERS SAY IT STARTED AS AN ODOR INVESTIGATION TURNED HOUSE FIRE. FIREFIGHTERS SAY FLAMES WERE THROUGH THE ROOF AT ONE POINT. OUR CREW ON SCENE ALSO SAW OG AND E WORKING THIS. AND FIREFIGHTERS SAY NOW THIS IS AN ARSON INVESTIGATION. THE SECOND FIRE WAS IN EDMOND. FIREFIGHTERS THERE SAY THIS STARTED AS A CAR FIRE AND COULD HAVE SPREAD TO A HOUSE. BUT THE SCENE WAS CLEARED QUICKLY AND JUST AFTER 2:00 THIS MORNING, THIS VACANT HOME CAUGHT FIRE. FIREFIGHTERS SAY THERE’S EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. YOU CAN SEE THERE WAS WATER FILLING THE STREETS, BUT FIREFIGHTERS SAY THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN AND YOU COULD SEE FLAMES OVER THE ROOFTOPS FROM SEVERAL BLOCKS AWAY. SO WE WERE ABLE TO EVACUATE THOSE HOMES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, JUST MINOR DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE, TO THE TO THE WEST. THEN WE FOCUSED OUR EFFORTS ON THE ACTUAL HOUSE THAT WAS ON FIRE. AGAIN, THOSE EVACUATIONS WERE JUST OUT OF PRECAUTION. FIREFIGHTERS SAY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT IN ANY OF THESE FIRE
