JONES, Oklahoma (KOCO) — Authorities say a person was taken to a hospital after a fire started early Monday at a home in Jones.
The fire started shortly before 3 a.m. near Britton Road and Post Road. Firefighters told KOCO 5 that they were originally sent the wrong address, so they showed up late.
When they arrived, firefighters found an Oklahoma City police officer at the scene helping the homeowner put out the fire with a garden hose.
“There was an officer here, a staff sergeant, who arrived pretty early before any fire rigs got here,” Oklahoma City Fire Department Battalion Chief Lance Burnett said. “He grabbed a water hose and was pretty much able to knock down the majority of the fire with a water hose before we got here.”
Firefighters said one person was taken to a hospital for breathing in too much smoke. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
