Per Section 10-328 of the Municipal Code | City of Moore The recent passage of Oklahoma's Rockets' Red Glare Act referencing firework sales, displays, etc. creates no change for those in Moore. Fireworks are still banned inside Moore city limits per Section 10-328 of the Moore Municipal Code.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our nation. Their bravery, selflessness and dedication will always be remembered.

The Moore Fire Department extends our gratitude to all who have served and asks our community to take a moment today to remember those who never made it home.

Crews from all three shifts attended Isaac Frazier’s “Tactical Extrication” class this week, where they received hands on training using our new AMKUS battery powered extrication tools.

This training provided the opportunity to sharpen their skills and save time during emergency operations, where seconds can make the difference between life and death.

We would like to thank Isaac Frazier for sharing his knowledge and expertise, as well as Time’s Up Towing and Recovery for donating the vehicles used during the training.

Today, we remember the lives forever changed on May 20, 2013, after an EF-5 tornado tore through our community with unimaginable force. In just 39 minutes, the storm left a path of devastation across Moore, taking 25 lives, injuring hundreds and forever impacting countless families.

We honor the victims, survivors, first responders and neighbors who stood together in the aftermath. Through heartbreak and loss, our community showed extraordinary strength, compassion and resilience.

The memories of Plaza Towers Elementary, the families affected and every act of courage that day will never be forgotten. As we reflect 13 years later, we continue to stand together remembering those we lost and honoring the spirit that helped Moore rebuild stronger than before.

The 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado remains one of the most powerful in history, with winds exceeding 300 mph. In just 85 minutes, it carved a 38-mile path of devastation, destroying thousands of homes and claiming 36 lives.

On this day, we remember those who were lost and honor the many who were injured. We also recognize the courage of the citizens and first responders who stood strong in the face of unimaginable destruction. In the aftermath, Moore and the surrounding communities showed the nation the true meaning of the Oklahoma Standard—resilience, unity and unwavering strength.

Congratulations to the Moore Fire Department’s newest Corporals!

After months of dedicated study and passing an intensive two-week training course, these members have earned their promotion to Corporal.

In their new roles, they’ll be stepping up to drive and operate any of our fire apparatus when needed, ensuring our crews continue to respond safely and effectively.

Well done Corporals, we’re proud of your accomplishment and grateful for your continued service to the City of Moore!
