Three Weatherford firefighters save fellow Oklahoman in Colorado
SUMMARY: Three firefighters from Weatherford, Oklahoma, while on a hunting trip in Colorado, sprang into action to save a fellow Oklahoman, West Patton, who had become unconscious due to carbon monoxide poisoning from an old catalytic heater in his tent. Alerted to his condition, Chief Corey Selmon, Lieutenant J. Wich, and Fireman Jimmy Lich trekked eight miles up a rugged trail, bringing oxygen and medical supplies. Their quick response improved Patton’s condition, and they arranged for a medical helicopter to airlift him to a hospital. The firefighters were recognized for their heroic efforts, with a $500 donation made to their department.

SUMMARY: Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters faced backlash over a prayer video he wanted played in schools, expressing support for President Donald Trump and criticizing the “radical left” and teachers’ unions. While the video garnered thousands of views online, many school districts opted not to show it, citing concerns over indoctrination and emphasizing the importance of inclusivity in public education. Critics argue that the focus should be on improving educational outcomes rather than engaging in culture wars. The Attorney General’s office called Walters’ directive unenforceable, asserting it undermines local control and parental rights in education.

SUMMARY: A woman living in Jasper Gardens has been without heat or air conditioning for several months, leading to frustration with her living conditions. Kalea Mary Ramsey, a tenant for over two years, resorted to using her oven for warmth and reported that repeated maintenance requests were ignored until recently. Although a maintenance worker assessed the central heating and air system, a part had to be ordered. Ramsey reached out to the property owner in Dallas and was offered a window unit and space heater. News 4 assisted in bringing attention to her situation, leading to some help for Ramsey.
