We are so incredibly sorry for this tragic loss in our Norman Regional EMSSTAT family. We are here with you and for you, keeping you and her family in our prayers.

It is with a heavy heart we mourn the loss of one of the members of our EMSSTAT family. Jules Curry was an outstanding paramedic, committed co-worker and amazing person. No matter how diverse EMSSTAT may be, the thing that unites us all is the uniform we wear. Now we are united by the pain of knowing that one of us has worn the uniform for the last time.

Our thoughts and support are with her family during this difficult time.

Thank you for spending some time with us at Station 1! This video does a fantastic job of showing some of what folks may not know about the day to day in the fire service.

Fire Station 1 averages over 600 responses per month. These calls can be anything from what you saw in the video to structure fires, major vehicle accidents with all levels of injury, medical calls, downed power lines, water rescue, helping a frightened citizen off the floor of their living room when they just can't manage it themselves or one of many, many other reasons.

Here for you

After sending one to Texas earlier in the week with OKTF1, NFD again answered the call for help, sending 3 more highly trained personnel and rescue apparatus to Ozona Texas.

Coordinating with OKTF1, Yukon FD and TXTF1, they have conducted multiple missions (All successful with zero casualties). NFD assisted with evacuating an apartment complex that had begun to flood, conducted recon of hazards in the area and performed repairs and maintenance in equipment.

Overnight, one adult male was pulled from swift water via rope bags and tethered swimmers. The patient was treated and released by EMS.

It’s always an honor to send one or more of our own to be part of this fantastic group of first responders. Keep them and the citizens of Texas in your thoughts and prayers.
