ORFD Retirees

Congratulations Chief Mocsari on a well deserved retirement!

Congratulations and good luck!

Three ORFD Firefighters completed their year of Paramedic school at Roane State Community College this week. Ryan Fraser, Sandra Sila-Massengill, and Chad Linthicum persevered through three semesters of classroom lecture, skills lab instruction, and clinical internship to be eligible to challenge the licensure test. We are proud of our firefighters' drive and ambition to provide the best service to the community.

Did you know? If a resident does not keep a 3-foot clearance around a fire hydrant in their yard, there could be a delay in accessing the water needed to put out a fire nearby. City code states the space shall be maintained and if it is not, the City may remove, cut, prune, or clear the area.

“We are in the process of repainting hydrants to make them easier to see and have been noticing a lot of overgrown vegetation obstructing access to hydrants,” said Oak Ridge Fire Marshal Eric Rackard. “So, we would really like to give residents, who may not be aware of this ordinance, an opportunity to maintain the area on their own so that it is cleared in the way they’d like their property around it to appear before we come in and do it ourselves.”
