One of two Mooreland firefighters burned at a brush fire over the weekend remains hospitalized.
They were assisting at a wildfire in Woodward County when the incident occurred.
"What happened is we had a slight wind shift here. The wind overtook the truck that they were near, and they were outside that truck. Burned their truck up, and they got overheated inside those suits," Matt Lehenbauer, Woodward County emergency manager, told KOCO.
Firefighter Jared Brittain is still at Integris Baptist in Oklahoma City being treated for second-degree burns to his arms and face. The other person injured was released.
