Huge thank you to the Healdton Elementary PTO for having us out today for the Color Run! ☀️

It’s always such a blast getting to be part of these fun events..not only for the kiddos but for our guys too! There’s just something about spraying water and watching the kids run around laughing that makes for a pretty great day. 😆

We loved being a small part of all the fun today and can’t wait to do it again next year! ❤️💙💛💚

Fire Chief Ronnie Hayes II has been in this field for 20 years and serves the community of Healdton, OK. We had the opportunity to chat with him and hear a little about his career and his passion for the Healdton Community.

There are not enough words to express our appreciation and gratitude for your service to our community, but we will start with a simple Thank You.

🚨 Burn Ban Extended 🚨

The Carter County Commissioners have officially extended the burn ban for another 7 days.

We cannot stress this enough — DO NOT do anything that could cause a spark. Dry conditions and high winds make it extremely easy for fires to start and spread rapidly.

🚒🔥 War Day - Carter County 🔥🚒

War Day has now been declared for March 26, 2026!!

The Carter County Emergency Management will declare War Days starting at 9:00am, signaling high fire danger conditions across the county.

🚨 What This Means
• Conditions are extremely favorable for fire spread.
• 3 fire departments will automatically be toned out for every fire call.
• Many firefighters are at their regular daytime jobs, so available resources may be limited.

🔥 How You Can Help
• Do NOT burn brush, trash, or debris.
• Avoid activities that create sparks (welding, grinding, outdoor machinery used in dry grass).
• Secure trailer chains and avoid parking on dry grass.
• Properly discard ci******es — never toss them outside!

📞 See Smoke?

If you notice smoke or a fire, call 911 immediately. Early reporting can make all the difference.

Let’s work together to keep our community safe during this high-risk period. Stay alert and be fire smart. 🚒
