Police Officer Alerts Firefighters To SW OKC House Fire

Oklahoma City firefighters put out a house fire on the southwest side early Friday morning.

Just before 2 a.m. an Oklahoma City police officer told dispatchers he saw smoke coming from inside a house in the 2400 block of S. Broadway Avenue near S.W. 23rd. 

The officer said he could smell the smoke from several blocks away, and when he found the house, he kicked in the front door to see if anyone was trapped inside.

According to fire officials, it appears the house was empty. Right now they're investigating what started the fire.
