Repair work has begun at Holiday Out RV Park in Oklahoma City to restore the water supply after a wildfire last week. The fire destroyed a mobile home, RVs, trailers, and a car, but most living quarters survived, and electricity is largely restored.
On Sunday afternoon, park residents gathered for a picnic to support those affected by Thursday's fire. The blaze damaged the park's water system, leaving residents without clean drinking water. Over the weekend, the community donated food and water. Park owner Rick Garrett said water system repairs would begin on Monday.
The fire destroyed the water well, leaving residents without water. Rick Garrett has asked for help from well repair specialists and volunteers with water and supplies. A second fire, which started Thursday, is being investigated as a possible arson. Several structures and a railroad bridge were damaged; the bridge has been inspected and reopened to traffic.
