Chief Billy Stricklin steps into harm's way at the First Responder's Banquet. Looks like the PPE SOP was followed to the letter on this one. Great job Chief!

Ackerman Fire Department sends a special thanks to the Choctaw County Chamber of Commerce and all of the volunteers who work so hard to put on the first responder's banquet. We appreciate your support! We had a great time and a nice supper.

Ackerman fire department assisted sturgis fire department yesterday with a water shuttle exercise. A water shuttle is when multiple trucks are hauling water from a water source wether it be a lake, fire hydrant, or elevated tank, to a place where there are no water sources and large volumes of water are needed. This training helps fire districts lower their fire rating and in turn the citizens in the district see a drop in their insurance rates.
