Jeremy Williams: OSFA Safety & Health Committee Report

With the higher temps and very little rain, firefighters have been very busy. The OSFA Safety & Health Committee would just like to remind you to stay safe and remember your training.

I would like to take this time to remind you that a peer support organization has been created -- Oklahoma Firefighters Peer Support.

The organization is split into five districts across the state. If you or anyone is in need of help or if you’re interested in becoming a peer support member, please contact the OSFA office for more details.

I would also like to let everyone know that a Mental Health Gala is being planned for Oct. 14, 2023. This Gala is to raise awareness for mental health.

The funds raised during this Gala will go into the Benevolent fund and be earmarked for mental health. Moneys raised will go to any OSFA member seeking counseling. The Gala is still in the planning stages but more information will continue to be released as we get closer to the date.

If you or anyone you know would like to support this very important cause, you can contact the OSFA office for more details. Thank you all for what you do for your communities.
