5. Why do I see fire trucks at stores and restaurants?

Firefighters work 24 hour shifts every 3rd day, so they work, eat, and sleep at the fire station. Sometimes they are at these places doing inspections or other fire related activities. Other times you may see them at the grocery store buying food to take back to the station to prepare and eat, or at one of our local restaurants eating lunch or dinner.

6. Are the ambulances in Owasso part of Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA)?

No. The ambulance service in and around Owasso is provided by the Owasso Fire Department. Almost all of our firefighters are also paramedics, and these individuals are trained to handle many different types of emergencies.

7. Why does a private ambulance service respond to calls in Owasso?

Occasionally, the fire department receives more calls for service than it can handle. When this situation happens, the fire department relies on assistance from another ambulance service. This practice prevents the patient from having to wait for one of our ambulances to become available.

Call Fire Administration at 918-272-5253 or come by the administration office at Fire Station #1 (8901 N. Garnett Rd.) during normal business hours. You will need the date and location of the fire. The cost is $0.25 per page (most reports are less than 5 pages).
