Fire Destroys LeFlore County Home

LeFlore County fire officials say no one was injured after a Pocola home caught fire early Monday.  

Pocola Fire Chief Wesley Riggs told KFSM, the CBS affiliate in Fort Smith, the fire started around 2:15 a.m. at a home on South Gray Street.

Riggs says when firefighters arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames and the roof had caved in.  He says a mother and child who lived there were not at home.  Pocola got assistance fighting the blaze from two nearby fire departments.  

Riggs says the home was a total loss.  The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

This was the second house fire in LeFlore County since Friday.  A mobile home was destroyed by fire near Shady Point.
