Smoke Alarms and Fire Education = SAFE Oklahoma!

SAFE Oklahoma is delivering much-needed First Alert Dual-Sensor Smoke Alarms, Lifetone Alert devices and home Fire Safety Education information at no cost to the residents of these three counties upon their request.  OSU-Fire Protection Publications (OSU-FPP) has overcome the logistical challenges of bolstering local support and identifying those folks who would be willing to serve in a leadership role as a Local Field Coordinator (LFC) for each of these counties.

Alabama FD Wins E-One Truck

Owens Crossroads Fire Department was awarded the new E-One Traditions ES fire engine at the Fire Rescue International (FRI) Conference Friday, August 27th in Chicago, IL. The Luther Fire Department had been named as one of the seven finalists for the E-One, "Tell Us Your Story” Contest.

For the second consecutive year, E-ONE had asked departments throughout the United States to ‘tell us their stories’ for an opportunity to win a new Tradition ES fire truck.

The Luther Fire Department was chosen as one of the seven finalists out of hundreds of fire departments throughout the United States for this opportunity. The essay was submitted by one of our members,
Sierra Maynard.

Luther was the only fire department in Oklahoma that was a finalist in this competition. Winning this truck would have greatly improved the response time for not only Luther FD, but all of its mutual aid partners in Eastern Oklahoma County, South East Logan County and Western Lincoln County.

FireRescue1 Magazine has the full story, you can go read it here.
