OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — Firefighters say an abandoned Southeast Oklahoma City motel is growing increasingly hazardous to the public after it caught on fire for the sixth time in less than a month Wednesday afternoon.
Firefighters responded to reports of flames at the former Rodeway Inn at I-35 and SE 66 th around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.
“This is the largest fire we’ve had in this property so far,” Chenoweth said on Wednesday. “We’re finding this defensive. We’re not putting any of our firefighters at risk right now.”
Chenoweth said, even once the flames are out, it will never be safe for anyone to go inside the building.
“This is definitely hazardous,” he said. “There are collapsed glass ceilings, plethora of collapsed floors in this property.”
