🔥🚒 OFD Puts Down Grass Fire 🚒🔥

A big thank you to the Okmulgee Fire Department for their quick response Saturday morning to a grass fire in the 1400 block of E. Randolph Street. The fire, which started from a grill, spread rapidly through dry vegetation and threatened nearby structures—but thanks to OFD, it was extinguished quickly and safely.

With dry, warm conditions and temperatures expected to reach the 80s, residents are urged to use extra caution with outdoor grills, fire pits, and flammable items, especially during the holiday season. While colder weather is on the way, the current conditions can still be dangerous.

👏 We appreciate our firefighters and all they do to keep our community safe.
