Car collides with Milwaukee Fire engine at 26th and Oklahoma
A car crashed into a Milwaukee Fire Department engine Wednesday afternoon.
The incident occurred around 1 p.m. at the intersection of South 26th Street and Oklahoma Avenue.
Motorcyclist Jacob Mundt told TMJ4 that he was traveling west on Oklahoma Avenue when a white car was speeding in the opposite direction.
Soon after Mundt said the same car smashed into MFD’s engine as it was making a left turn onto 26th Street.

The car’s front end is gone.
“He could’ve been on his way to work, but not anymore. For what? Save 30 seconds? If you do the math speeding’s not worth it,” Mundt commented. “If that (fire engine) was me I wouldn’t be here. If I was in an accident and somebody saw it I would want somebody to stop and you know support me.”
Mundt says the driver of the white vehicle was visibly injured and taken away in an ambulance. No firefighters were reported injured.
TMJ4 has reached out to police and fire for more information.

A pair of Patty Gasso’s Sooners earned recognition for clutch performances against Ole Miss over the weekend.
Veteran Isabela Emerling was named SEC Co-Player of the Week after her clutch grand slam powered Oklahoma past the Rebels on Monday, and sophomore Audrey Lowry earned SEC Pitcher of the Week after two outstanding appearances.
Emerling, a redshirt senior, needed just one pitch to change Monday’s series finale.
She stepped in to pinch hit for freshman Allyssa Parker in the sixth inning and ruined Kyra Aycock’s outing.
Emerling connected with the first pitch she saw and parked a grand slam deep beyond the fence in left field to put OU on top 5-2.
It was Emerling’s 11th homer of the year, which is three shy of her career-high, and it was the seventh grand slam of her career.
She also homered in the Sooners’ mid-week triumph over Memphis and hit .545 for the week with a 1.091 slugging percentage.
Lowry pitched 7 2/3 total innings across two appearances against the Rebels and allowed zero runs.
She got the start in Saturday’s opener, then stepped in for Sydney Berzon with OU down 2-1 and shut the Rebels out to earn the victory in relief.
Lowry accounted for five strikeouts and gave up four free passes (two walks and two hit batters) in the pair of appearances.

For the season, she’s now 15-1, which ranks third nationally in wins, and has a 2.08 ERA with a 52-9 strikeout to walk ratio across 67 1/3 innings of action.
Emerling and Lowry became the second OU duo to capture recognition in the same week, and it was the first time both have been honored individually by the SEC this season.
The No. 5 Sooners will be back on the road this weekend to take on No. 20 LSU.
The series will serve as a reunion for Avery Hodge and Paytn Monticelli, who are both former Sooners, as well as Berzon, who spent the first three years of her collegiate career in Baton Rouge.
Hodge transferred to LSU following the 2024 season, and Monitcelli departed Norman this past offseason.
Berzon is coming off her longest outing as a Sooner, where she threw 57 pitches and allowed zero earned runs on Monday against Ole Miss.
The series opener is scheduled to get underway at 6 p.m. on Friday.

A fire at a scrapyard near the OKC Fairgrounds has produced a massive plume of smoke visible in downtown Oklahoma City, officials report.
Oklahoma City Fire Department Assistant PIO John Chenoweth told The Oklahoman that the fire started at the scrapyard building near Northwest 10th Street and May Avenue, northeast of the OKC Fairgrounds.
The fire has been marked as “basically contained” as the Oklahoma City Fire Department is currently shifting to defensive methods. There are some active rubbish fires surrounding the metal building.
Chenoweth states there are no injuries, and all inside the building have been evacuated.
The cause of the fire and the extent of damage are unknown.

How to prevent wildfires
While severely warm weather can worsen a wildfire spread, most are the result of human behavior. In fact, nearly 85% of wildfires in the U.S. are caused by humans, according to the National Park Service.
With its wide acres, rural areas and inconsistent weather patterns, Oklahoma is prone to grass fires. Forestry and safety experts offer several guidelines for residents on how to avoid starting a fire, which can often breakout from just one wrong spark.
- Avoid using welding equipment.
- Never drive on a flat tire.
- Extinguish cigarettes completely before properly disposing of them, and never throw them outside of a window while driving.
- Avoid parking on dry grass or dragging chains behind your car.
