A report from the Oklahoma Fire Marshall's Office found that a deadly fire at Nowata Firearms was accidental.  The March 12th blaze took the life of 66-year-old Leslie Hazin after he went back inside the building, reportedly to get his gun.  The fire began around 2 P.M. with several customers in the store and an explosion was heard right before the fire began.  The backstop, made out of tires and other rubberized material, added to the severity of the blaze.  Leslie Hazin was the only fatality.  Two other men were treated for smoke inhalation.
