Can someone explain the procedure of the lieutenants being the drivers of the apparatus? Wouldn’t an officer be leading the firefighters on scene and not stuck with the apparatus? Maybe explain the rank structure
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
That’s a new one on me here, Lieutenant Drive the apparatus. I’ve heard lieutenant have their own vehicle and respond to calls when the rest respond on the apparatus.
If I'm not mistaken that is a Dutch Helmet. OKCFD was lucky enough to have visitors at several stations from the Netherlands stay for about a month as an exploratory. Great group of People and we shared with them and learned from them as well.
What rank system does Oklahoma City FD follow? Here in Oxnard FD our rank goes: Firefighter or Fire Medic then Engineer then Captain then Battalion Chief and so on...

Thank you for that explanation. Your 20 station agency dwarfs our little 8 station department. You all have great equipment and rigs. Does your agency have single function paramedics in any capacity (education/ambulances/admin)? That's becoming a position out here in California. @@okcfd
Thank you for your feedback. We understand everyone has their opinion concerning tattoos, but we can assure you Corporal Murray's tattoos do not affect his job performance. Corporal Murray is a hard working, compassionate firefighter that loves to serve the residents of Oklahoma City and we are fortunate to have him on our department. Thank You for watching our video and we hope you continue watching the videos we release. Have a great day.
Great series. I’ve seen other departments do videos like this and I think it’s very beneficial for the community to learn about these things.
Great Vibe! Great History! Great Tour; keep the FD Tours coming!

My 1st Station assignment in 1995. Chief Keaton and Major Robinette.......good times!
Interesting that the engineers on the engine and ladder are Lt’s.

FYI, drag the grill outside to cook. C02 is the silent killer.
Whenever we grill, we ensure the bay doors are open for ventilation. We appreciate your advice.
@@okcfd I was poking fun because you people know from first hand what can happen. I wasn’t serious 🧐
Hello,
what is the story behind the European helmet in the display case?
Greetings from Germany

So many tools in that fire station.

Who gets dumb tattoos on their neck like that? I'd never hire a guy if I was the chief with s*** like that.

And that’s why you’ll never be a Chief
