Police are looking for two people seen running from a home after it caught fire, which appeared to have been set intentionally.

Reports said fire crews were called to 812 N. Choctaw shortly after 2 a.m. Aug. 26. Witnesses reported seeing two people running from the scene after flames broke out. Police said they were unable to find the people said to be running from the scene.

Reports said there did appear to be some flammable liquid poured onto the house. Fire crews quickly extinguished the blaze and little damage was reported.

Two Canadian County sheriff’s deputies and a former detention officer have been honored for providing lifesaving efforts over the past year.

Sgt. Austin Albrecht and Deputy Tony Dorman Jr., along with former detention officer Eric Vincent were honored Aug. 19 by the Oklahoma Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association during an awards ceremony.

Albrecht and Dorman were honored for their work in saving the lives of a woman and her daughter after they were overcome by chemical fumes while painting the interior of a home on Nov. 29.

There are three bodies of law that Oklahomans live with on a daily basis: Constitutional Law, laws that are voted on by the people; Statutory Law, laws approved by legislators and the governor; and the subject of this article, Administrative Law, rules created not by the people or legislators but unelected bureaucrats who run state agencies.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister urged schools to host blood drives for staff and students to help ensure the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) can meet demand.

Blood drive cancellations are driving supplies to critically low levels. To maintain a strong blood supply, 1,200 donations a day are needed in Oklahoma. With more than 30 percent of total donations in the state collected from donors associated with education groups, school-based drives are critical.
