Fire at house in northwest Oklahoma City may have been set

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Arson investigators are looking into a fire that burned a vacant house and singed two others in northwest Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Early reports were that someone set the fire that broke out at 2309 W Lindley just before noon, said Bobby Lax, a battalion chief with Oklahoma City Fire Department.

Two vagrants who were inside the single-story house escaped uninjured, but the house was a total loss, Lax said.

Damage estimates were about $20,000 to the vacant house, and a couple thousand dollars in heat damage to homes on either side of it.
