A follow-up News on 6 story about faulty fire trucks in Skiatook. Edd and Diane Hixson say they lost everything they owned because the Skiatook Fire Department sent trucks to their home that didn't work.

Skiatook's fire chief says the first truck malfunctioned and never pumped any water. The second truck only pumped about 600 gallons of water before it quit working. The fire chief says both trucks are still out of commission Tuesday, which leaves the city with only one working fire truck.

The Hixsons were renting their home and didn't have insurance on their belongings.

An account has been established at the American Bank Of Oklahoma for The Edd Hixson, Jr. family whose house and possessions were lost in a fire in rural Skiatook April 10th.

Gifts may be forwarded to:
