Knowles, Oklah. — As wildfires continue to scorch parts of Oklahoma, one young couple is trying to salvage a future from the ashes of the Ranger Road Fire.
The Ranger Road Fire has burned more than 280,000 acres, about twice the size of Chicago.
Among those affected is 22-year-old Mariah Barrows, who moved from Vermont to Knowles, Oklahoma, to be with her fiancé, Matthew Gray.
The fire destroyed their home, upending months of wedding planning.
“Just gotta get to a safe place, and figure the rest out later,” Barrows said.
Barrows fled with only what she could carry, including her dog.
In the rush to escape, she said she left behind a key piece of her wedding plans.
“I already left, and I forgot my wedding dress, but the first thing Matt brought out was my wedding dress and put it in his truck,” Barrows said.
When the couple returned, they found their home burned to ashes with nothing left but the roof.
They also do not have renters’ insurance.
Still, Barrows said she found hope in the rubble: her engagement ring and her late grandmother’s ring.
“It was gold-plated, but it’s a little burnt now. When I found the ring, my fiancé was steps away, and I just started balling,” Barrows said.
Gov. Kevin Stitt declared a state of emergency for multiple counties, including where Barrows lives.
Since the wildfires received a federal disaster declaration, survivors have been able to apply for assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The funding can help with temporary housing, home repairs, and replacing essential personal property, but the funds are running out.
For now, Barrows and Gray are rebuilding with clothing donations from neighbors and family, as well as a GoFundMe.
Barrows said the June wedding she had been planning may not happen after the fire destroyed months of work.
“I was DIY’ng the entire wedding, and so all of the stuff for the past 9 months, it was in the house, and it’s all gone,” Barrows said.

Retired St. Louis Cardinals Star Matt Holliday Selling Oklahoma Home With a Baseball Field and a ‘$2 Million Pool’
Retired St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday is selling his Oklahoma home, and fittingly, it has its very own baseball field.
The gated 136-acre estate in Stillwater—about an hour north of Oklahoma City—is asking $12 million, a price tag that makes it the most expensive single-family home on the market in the Sooner State, listing records show.

Holliday, 46, a Stillwater native, acquired the lot for $3 million in 2018, records with PropertyShark show. He and his wife, Leslee, built the home in 2022.
“One of the things I’ve loved most about this home is the opportunity it has given us to gather people together,” Holliday said in a statement to Mansion Global. “Some of our favorite memories here revolve around hosting college students and professional athletes for meals, conversation and meaningful fellowship.”
The property is “a super unique home for Oklahoma,” said listing agent Wyatt Poindexter of the Agency, who brought the home to the market on Wednesday.
The field is a real rarity. “I’ve never seen one [before] in my life, and I’ve been in real estate for 31 years,” Poindexter said. It has professional lighting and turf, stands, and right behind home plate there’s a massive fire pit, according to Poindexter. The property also has batting cages.
Both were added “for practice for the boys, and for fun,” Poindexter said.
Two of Holliday’s sons are following in their father’s footsteps. Jackson was selected first overall in the 2022 Major League Baseball draft by the Baltimore Orioles and made his MLB debut in 2024, and Ethan went fourth overall to the Colorado Rockies in 2025.
Holliday “pretty much trained them on site,” Poindexter said.
During his 14-year career, Holliday, a seven-time All-Star, played for the Colorado Rockies along with the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees. But his longest and most well-known tenure was with the St. Louis Cardinals, with whom he won the World Series in 2011.
The property’s amenities extend beyond baseball, though. There’s a putting green, a gym, an indoor pickleball and basketball court, and a two-level pool with a waterfall.
“The pool is massive,” Poindexter said. “It has a swim-through grotto with seating and benches. It’s a $2 million pool.”
There’s also a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen, a pond, a guest house, a workshop and running trails.
The house itself, meanwhile, spans 7,500 square feet over a single level and was inspired by Texas Hill Country homes with their metal roofs and stone exteriors, Poindexter explained.
The house is being sold furnished, with the exception of the MLB memorabilia. It has oversized windows; an open-plan main living space with a lounge, kitchen and dining area; a butler’s pantry; two offices; and five bedrooms, including a primary suite with dual closets.
“There’s something special about a home that naturally invites community, and this one has been the backdrop for so many unforgettable evenings, shared stories and lasting relationships,” Holliday said.
