The Fire Department is partially funded from a 3/4 cent dedicated public safety sales tax approved by voters in 1990.
The Oklahoma City Fire Department (OCFD) serves a population of over a half-million people and an area of 621 square miles. Suppression and Rescue personnel operate on three different shifts (A, B, and C). Each shift is a 24-hour shift (7:00 am to 7:00 am).
We respond to more than 88,000 incidents a year. Seventy per cent are some form of medical call -- automobile accidents, industrial accidents, drownings, violence, and other forms of illness or injury.
