Good question. The Oklahoma City Fire Departments rank positions are Recruit, Firefighter, Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, District Chief, Battalion Chief, Deputy Chief, and Fire Chief. Recruits, Firefighters, and Corporals are individuals that operate as part of an Engine Company or Rescue Ladder Company. Sergeants and Lieutenants are responsible for operating and maintaining the apparatus they are assigned to and can also fill the "Officer in Charge" position when needed. Captains and Majors are considered the "Officer in Charge" of the apparatus they are assigned to and can also fill the roll of supervisor over a fire station. District Chiefs and Battalion Chiefs supervise a fire district that consist of 5-7 fire stations and approximately 40-50 personnel depending on the district. Deputy Chiefs supervise different work sections, and the Fire Chief oversees the operations of the Fire Department

I am a proud Mom of an OKC Firefighter !!! He is not currently at this station but one of the neighboring ones and since he is an EMT/Paramedic sometimes travels to stations or places that need him !! Every station and firefighter are in our thoughts and prayers daily for the jobs you do. ! Stay safe and God bless you all !!!
This Event Gave Me PTSD I Am Glad There Was Someone Giving It A Moment Of Silence It Have been seeing like people doing Arson And just Leaving It It Really Fucked Me Up I Thought No one Cared Anymore The Emergency Alert Sound Gives Me A Episode Sometimes.
I’ve heard the possessive before but in reference to the firehouse itself being the center of its own district or area of operation. IE; we work in 11’s district, we’re running in 5’s for this call, etc.
That's almost bad as society not letting you do anything with your life because of a learning disability you were born with and segregation supposedly 60 years ago my ass people with special needs disabilities are left out from going to college and are forced to go to work at minimum wage this needs to be changed they can't segregate us out of colleges that's how you know the government is broken
Fire PLUG term for Hydrant is from days of old. Water main were very shallow, made of wood. The guys would expose the watermain and make a hole in it for fire fighting water. After fire they would PLUG up the hole in main. Then that would be a new fire plug ( Hydrant) these would be plugs for future fires if they had another in same area. There was a time in history when water systems had NO Hydrant installed when wooden water mains were put in. A lot of area the water main were owned by the big land Barron or the main money rich guy in towns. He control the water systems, mainly for his factorys.
Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice, I have a suggestion for a meal, 5 bags of knorr alfredo noodles, milk and a stick of butter, and you can save time by getting a whole rotisserie chicken, pull the meat off the bone, cook noodles and stir in the pulled chicken and u r done, it is so good, u can serve with bread or vegetables. Or a salad.❤
I had never heard that the stations numbers were possessive, but I was told that the numbers were pluralized because of 3 shifts at each station. Either works I guess.
If you have two sets of bunker gear and one is used at a fire and contaminated then you have a 2nd fire so your 2nd bunker is contaminated then what happens if you get a 3rd fire? Also in OKC you might call it an engine but out west it would be called a Quint an engine with a ladder are mobile home park is covered by Quint 90 the same type of engine you have
It def is a quint but OKC and STL call there 50' rigs engines, probably tradition, but you are correct, it tech is a quint per NFPA. The washing your gear is a load of crap. We have the washers but most of us still do it old school and clean with hose and brushes. Gonna die from something anyway and you get cancer from everything....now some lawyer says foam...tomorrow it will be potatoes.
@@leeshaver7825 The Sky-Boom is one of Pierce Manufacturing's Quint Fire Trucks, along with the Enforcer, Impel, and Velocity This is from Pierce site as well. Engine 11 is a skyboom. Thanks!
@@Fire84569 Well some say 75' some say 50 is quint. Been career over 30 years so kind of have idea of what one is, just depends on where you are at. We have 50, 75 and 102' Quints.

@@Fire84569 Aerial device: An aerial ladder or elevating platform with a permanently installed waterway, that is part of the NFPA def of quint btw, so it could be 50 or more. The Sky-Boom is one of Pierce Manufacturing's Quint Fire Trucks, along with the Enforcer, Impel, and Velocity
Thanks for the upload keep up the awesome videos on your RU-vid channel. I really enjoyed the Mother’s Day video as well.. thank you again for the great videos and content👨🚒🚒⭐️🇺🇸
Edit 2: Now that I've scrolled back and forth through your video and watched to discover all the links you clicked to get to the correct page, I discover I've wasted my time. This link is ONLY for people living in Okc. limits. Living in Ok. county I still have no clue where to register. Edit: No wonder it's so hard to find when you didn't even give us the complete link here. You showed about a second of typing it but never showed the complete link????? Why would you not put the link in the description so everyone can actually find it without scrolling through the video in hopes of catching a glimpse of it? Is having an easy to find, clickable link too much to ask? Original message: Thank You for this. I had a storm shelter installed last October and I Googled for where to register for over an hour and found nothing.
