GOODWELL, Okla. (KOKH) — First responders in Guymon are mourning the loss of one of their own following a fire on Friday.
Around 5:15 a.m. on Friday, firefighters from Goodwell, Guymon, and Texhoma responded to a 911 call about a house fire in the 300 block of Aggie Avenue in Goodwell.
When they arrived, fire crews spotted heavy fire and smoke coming from the front door and windows of the home.
Goodwell firefighters were able to enter through a bedroom window and get to a person trapped inside the home.
Once out of the flames, Guymon paramedics started lifesaving care and realized the patient was one of their own.
The individual was identified as 49-year-old Steven Coen.
Coen was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
“Steven is a member of the Guymon Fire Department and is an active EMT on the department’s EMS Division”, said Guymon Fire Chief Grant Wadley. “This is a huge loss for our department, community, and area.”
Coen had been heavily involved in the EMS Division in Guymon for the past 10 years and was even scheduled to work this weekend.
He also worked as an EMT in Hooker.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma House of Representatives has approved House Resolution 1054, designating April 2026 as Library Month in Oklahoma.
The resolution was filed by Michelle McCane, D-Tulsa, and recognizes the role libraries play in supporting education, workforce development, access to technology and community engagement across the state.
April 29 was also observed as Library Day at the Capitol, hosted by McCane in partnership with the Oklahoma Libraries Association and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. The event provided an opportunity for residents, library professionals and lawmakers to connect and discuss the impact of library services.
“I am so excited to host the first ever Library Day at the Capitol to help advocate for our libraries and library staff,” McCane said. “Together, we can ensure that libraries continue to thrive and serve as vital resources for generations to come.”
State officials emphasized that libraries serve as critical community resources, offering educational programming, workforce support and access to information. They also highlighted libraries as “third places,” providing spaces for community interaction outside of home and work.
Library representatives from across Oklahoma participated in the event, showcasing programs such as early literacy initiatives and STEM education opportunities, particularly in rural areas.
Officials said the designation and event aim to raise awareness of the role libraries play in improving literacy, supporting communities and expanding access to resources statewide.
