CHANDLER, Okla. (KFOR) – A father was killed, and his son severely burned after the Friday night fires, according to family members.

They said that Allen Ferguson and his son Will were trying to escape the flames from the family’s grandmother’s home. The family lives in Chandler.

The two were rushed to the hospital, where Allen eventually succumbed from his injuries Saturday morning.

According to his family, Will is still undergoing treatment after being severely burned; he had to have his hands amputated less than 24 hours after the fire first ignited.

The family was a large part of the wrestling community in Oklahoma, with several Chandler groups and others posting condolences and asking for prayers.

The Oklahoma Kids Wrestling Association also announced on Facebook Saturday that there is a donation account set up at the Chandler BancFirst. There is also a GoFundMe account that has been created to help with hospital costs and anything else they need.

The organization posted, “OKWA family, please keep the Ferguson family in your prayers. Tragedy has struck our Chandler Wrestling family. There is a donation account set up at the Chandler BancFirst as well as a GoFundMe account set up for anyone able to help this family. Let’s come together and show our support in this unimaginably difficult time.”

The GoFundMe states, “This is for the Ferguson family: Deb, Allen, Colt, Corey, Will, and Preston. Allen and Will recently suffered severe burns in the wildfires on 3/14. Allen lost his fight on 3/15, and Will is currently undergoing treatment and fighting strong at Baptist Hospital and facing a long road to recovery.

The medical bills, ongoing care, and other related costs are proving to be a significant financial burden, and we are asking for your help to alleviate some of this stress. Your generous donation will directly support Allen and Will’s medical expenses, rehabilitation, and any other necessary support during this challenging time. Every dollar counts, and even a small contribution can make a big difference in the recovery and overall well-being of the Ferguson Family. Please consider donating to help in this time of need. Thank you for your kindness and support.”
