Stables Cafe & Cantina Burns (Freedom, OK)...

"Here's a photo of Stables restaurant, viewed from the edge of the parking lot at the sidewalk that led to the main entrance. There is no word at this point about the cause of the first or whether the facility will be rebuilt. The nearby Cedar Ridge motel (I think that's the name) was not damaged in the fire; in fact, it was a motel resident who discovered the fire and alerted authorities - had it not been discovered in time, it is likely that the entire canyon area around the Alabaster Caverns State Park would have turned into an inferno. As it was, the fire departments were able to contain the fire to the area immediately around the restaurant. A friend who has a police scanner said that she heard the calls for fire trucks go out to Freedom, Mooreland, and Alva. I have a dozen or so photos, but they all need some prep before sending them." -- Rod   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
