Downed power lines cause Sapulpa garage fire Thursday afternoon

Posted

SAPULPA, Okla.- Firefighters worked to save a home from burning to the ground Thursday. 

A downed power line ignited the home it was resting on early in the afternoon. 

Firefighters were unable to go in and battle the blaze until OG&E crews arrived and cleared the line.

Luckily, minimal damage was done to the home, but the damage to equipment inside the garage is extensive. 

Homeowners say the damage is a huge setback. 

"I'll see what goes. I'll probably do most of the work myself because I'm used to working on houses but I'm pretty old and I don't like to do it but I have to do what I've got to do," said homeowner Adelaide Hardee. 

Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire once they entered the blaze.
