OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Two Oklahoma congressmen are asking the Federal Emergency Management Agency for trailers that were originally meant for Hurricane Katrina victims.

Congressmen Dan Boren [pictured] and Tom Cole say there are currently more than 10,000 of the trailers sitting empty in Arkansas and they want FEMA to send 150 trailers to be used by Oklahomans who lost their homes to wildfires.

Grass fires since November first have burned more than a half million acres in Oklahoma, destroyed some 300 homes and damaged about 600 others.
