Two Men Critically Injured In Muskogee House Fire

Muskogee EMS says two men rescued from a Muskogee house fire Wednesday morning were taken to a Tulsa hospital in critical condition.

The Muskogee Fire Department says they got the call about the fire at the corner of East Side Boulevard and Lawrence Street at 8:30 a.m. Muskogee Fire Marshal Ray Bob Daniels said two other men found inside the home were taken to the police department for questioning.
