So proud of the people who dedicate their lives to saving the lives of others in our hometown community. Thank you Jason Renz and Thomas Gipson for your outstanding service and commitment!

Another example below ⬇️ of the greatness that resides in our community.

We had the pleasure of presenting two of our EMT’s , Jason Renz and Thomas Gipson, with life saving awards for a medical event that occurred within the City of Nowata on August 5th. They were crucial in ensuring a positive outcome for the patient. The patient was later intubated, but made a full recovery and was estimated and released from the hospital a week later with no lasting effects. We are proud of them and proud to call them our friends and coworkers.

The Nowata Fire Department has received a significant upgrade to its firefighter safety equipment without the expense normally associated with replacing the department’s aging breathing apparatus.

Through his relationships developed within the fire service, Nowata Fire Chief Brandon Jarvis reached out to Assistant Chief Charlie Hoage of the Livingston Manor Fire Department in New York. That connection resulted in the donation of 24 MSA self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) packs and masks to the Nowata Fire Department.

The donation is estimated to have saved the City of Nowata more than $50,000 compared with the cost of purchasing replacement equipment.

SCBAs are among the most critical pieces of personal protective equipment used by firefighters, providing breathable air while personnel operate inside burning structures and other hazardous or oxygen-deficient environments.
