By Bill Wilkinson On Saturday, August 6, 2022, a concerned citizen driving across the Canadian River Bridge at Atwood noticed heat waves rising along the West side of the bridge about half way across.

Holdenville and Atwood fire departments were able to extinguish the fire before the bridge was damaged.
