Tremendously sad news that the OKCFD lost our dear sister Kellie Sawyers today. She was one of our best ever. Fire Explorer, Dispatcher, Inspector, EFO Graduate, our first female Deputy Chief and Fire Marshal. She was so great to have by my side during my tenure as Fire Chief.
TRAFFIC ALERT: The intersection of Broadway and Coffee Creek will be set up as a four-way stop for traffic signal repairs from 9 am – 5 pm on Wednesday, December 11. Motorists should expect delays and may consider an alternate route if possible.
2 firefighters deaths in 2 days from cardiac events (MI & FDNY). Half of all firefighters deaths are cardiac. Most can be prevented. You'll hear more in the near future with one of my initiatives as @IAFC President
