SILVER CITY — A volunteer firefighter died late Friday after battling grass fires in the area, officials confirmed Saturday afternoon. John Adams, 45, of Silver City parked a firetruck along Oklahoma 51 about 10 p.m. and then collapsed. He was pronounced dead at the scene, said Silver City Fire Chief Brutus Beall. "The fire was almost over and he started talking and just collapsed," Beall said. More than 600 acres were burned Friday after an arsonist set fires around the small city eight miles west of Mannford. Fire officials said most of the fires had been contained; however, a few hot spots remained Saturday.
