Proper installation and maintenance of your attic and crawl space vents can reduce the risk of embers entering your home. See the fact sheet for more details.

Good morning Perkins!

This Memorial Day, the members of the Perkins Fire Department pause to honor and remember the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

While we routinely answer the call to serve and protect our local community, today we stand in solemn tribute to those who answered the highest call of all, laying down their lives to protect our freedom. Their bravery, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

We invite the Perkins community to join us today in taking a moment of silence to reflect on the true meaning of this day.

To all the fallen heroes and the families they left behind: we thank you, we honor you, and we remember you.

Be safe Perkins!

Good afternoon, Perkins!

This week marks National EMS Week. Back in 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized this special week to celebrate EMS professionals and the vital, lifesaving work they do across our nation's communities. It’s a time to bring together local communities and medical personnel to honor the dedication of those on medicine's frontline.

Did you know? In addition to fire and rescue response, the dedicated career and volunteer firefighters of the Perkins Fire Department provide crucial EMS first response right here in our district. In fact, EMS responses make up the majority of our department's overall call volume. 🩺🚒

To stay at the top of their game and keep you safe:

* Each firefighter completes a minimum of 64 hours of initial EMS training.
* They undergo continuous education every year to maintain their EMS license in the state of Oklahoma.

We are incredibly proud to partner with Lifenet EMS of Payne County to deliver top-tier emergency medical responses to our district. 🤝❤️

Thank you to all of our first responders working hard every single day to keep our community safe!

Be safe, Perkins!
