I am pleased to welcome you to the Verdigris Fire District's website; a valuable resource to the residents of Verdigris.

Verdigris Fire-Rescue is an innovative and diverse department of 25 members that mirror the community we serve. We are fortunate to have some of the most talented individuals in the fire service working and volunteering here.

We value the history and tradition of the Verdigris Fire District, an organization built upon the strong shoulder's of our past leadership; without them we could not tackle the challenges of the future. With a new vision, Verdigris Fire-Rescue is well on the way to becoming a world class fire district that sets and blazes the trail into the future.

As you visit our website, you will find information about the services my department can provide, and the projects we are working on in an effort to continue making Verdigris a great place to live. Here you will notice information related to the following divisions.

• Fire Operations
• Fire Administration
• Fire Communications
• Fire Prevention, Education & Inspection
• Emergency Medical Services

We are a vibrant department that values our past, sees present possibilities, and embraces the challenges of the future. We are committed to providing the citizens of Verdigris with the best service possible. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improving this website or our department.

Thank you for visiting our website.
