OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Fire tore through a home in southwest Oklahoma City early Monday, killing all four people inside, authorities said. Firefighters arrived at the home around 5:20 a.m. and found the one-story brick building engulfed in flames, Battalion Chief Brian Jackson said. They managed to pull one victim from the house, but the rest “were too far gone,” he said. All four were pronounced dead at the scene. “As they were on their fire attack and search and rescue, they found the victims,” Deputy Chief Cecil Clay said of the firefighters. “As they were continuing their attack they were finding more victims.” Clay said two of the victims were adults. Firefighters were still searching through the burned-out structure in the middle-class neighborhood Monday morning. Police investigators also were on the scene, police Sgt. Gary Knight said. Jackson said it was too early to determine how or where the blaze started or if the home had working smoke detectors. The fire comes less than a week after another blaze at a southwest Oklahoma City apartment building several miles away that killed three people. Investigators have said that fire was intentionally set.
