since thursday april 9, 2009 fires have burned through and destroyed land and homes in velma, ok along with the rest of eastern Stephens County. After fighting fires for 72 hours the rain brought it to a hault thank god... Prayers for all the people in Velma, Stephens county, and oklahoma all together that lost so much this week. I am trying to find pictures

I see you are with Oakridge FD. I think we met some of your guys at Velma. You may have been one of them, sorry I didn't get any names. That was quite a night and day. Glad things have calmed down out that way. Sorry I didn't really have time to think about pictures. Jay did you get any?
