As we transition to a stormy / Active weather pattern, we thought it was a good time to remind everyone to check your storm shelters and prepare ahead of time...

Luckily we dont have any traffic circles to contend with 😄😄

We are not under a burn ban at this time, we do ask that you exercise caution if you need us call 911....

If you don't need the Fire Department for your controlled burn and don't want us showing up because someone else called it in please call our dispatch center and let them know your burning that number is 580-924-3737 ext 4 they are in Durant, do this and they will not send us unless you call back and tell them its out of hand... Hopefully this will alleviate some confusion on how the system works.

Thank you
Chief - Travis McIntyre

Today we want to take a moment to honor the life of Mindi Welch.

Mindi served her community through Bryan County EMS, dedicating herself to helping others on what were often their hardest days. Her loss is deeply felt; not only within the first responder community, but especially by her children, family, coworkers, and those who knew her personally.

Loss like this doesn’t just affect one family. It ripples through coworkers, classmates, friends, and entire communities. Grief can show up in many ways; silence, anger, confusion, sadness and there is no “right” way to process it.

At Tactical Therapy, we want to remind families, first responders, and communities that support is available. Counseling and trauma-informed care can help individuals and families navigate grief when the weight feels too heavy to carry alone.

Our thoughts are with Mindi’s children, her loved ones, and the Bryan County EMS family during this incredibly difficult time.

If support is ever needed, we are here—quietly, respectfully, and without pressure.
