GUTHRIE, Okla. —SKY 5 brought live coverage Monday afternoon as John Trimberger’s home was consumed by flames.
A volunteer firefighter trying to save his home was shot in the process. Frank Megow, a volunteer firefighter and an Army and Marine Corps veteran, was on the front line of the fire.
“Rate of spread went to a full run, started hitting aerial fuels, we got overran by the fire, trucks got engulfed,” he told KOCO 5’s Kim Passoth. Minutes before the fire overtook the home, Megow and his men from the Washington Volunteer Fire Department tried to save it, unaware of the hidden danger inside.
