A firefighter is in an area hospital on Thursday after a business fire in southwest Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City and Norman crews were called to a cement company near Southwest 134th Street and MacArthur Boulevard.

Mechanics were working on a truck parked inside the building when something caught fire beneath it, officials said.

Fire crews said water had to be shuttled in because there were no hydrants in the area.

Officials said a firefighter fell into a pit and was taken to a hospital.
