🌱 Apt. Fire In NW OKC + Woman Wanted For Impersonation + New Ward Map

Morning, neighbors! Helen Eckhard here with a fresh Oklahoma City Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and pleasant. High: 69 Low: 48.

Here are the top three stories in Oklahoma City today:

1. Oklahoma City Fire Department crews battled a fire at a vacant two-story building in NW Oklahoma City. On Thursday night, crews responded to the fire at an apartment building in the 5300 block of Willow Cliff Dr. and learned that it started in an apartment on the first floor in a heating closet. No injuries were reported and the cost of damages to the structure are being estimated at $30,000. (News On 6)
2. An Oklahoma City woman is wanted for impersonation after she used a fake name with a matching social security number during a traffic stop. When Kyia Quinones gave police her information back in November, officers believed her and let her go with a misdemeanor weed charge. However, Quinones is now wanted for felony impersonation after she used a former friend's identification during the stop. (KOKH FOX25)
3. Oklahoma City Council approved a new ward map, which went into effect on Friday. The changes to the ward map are the result of a once-in-a-decade requirement to rebalance the population in OKC's eight wards due to population growth. Oklahoma City previously hadn't been redistricted since 2011. (Press Release Desk)
