LOVE COUNTY, Okla. (KETN) – Officials say a space heater may have triggered a fire early Wednesday morning that left a paralyzed man and his son dead.
Love County Sheriff Marty Grisham said the fire in a house trailer near Marietta was reported around 1:30 a.m. About 30 volunteer firefighters from multiple agencies joined forces to battle the flames in sub-freezing temperatures.
There were three people in the home; a 17-year-old girl escaped without injury. But a 13-year-old boy was unsuccessful in an attempt to get his 60-year-old father into a wheelchair so they could escape. Both were killed.
