Edmond Firefighter Todd Gabbert is used to fires. But the one Friday was different, much different.
That’s because the house on fire was his.
He told KOCO that he ignored his adult son’s pleas to leave. “I knew it was going to be bad, but you never expect it to be you. I turned on the news to track the wildfire, and then I heard it crackle over my head.”
He thought the wildfire would pass to the north. He was wrong.
Now, he and his wife are living in a camper beside the charred remains of their home.
Gabbert is just one of many in Logan County who are starting to rebuild their lives. And, the threat continues Tuesday.
