See you there!

The Fire Marshals Association of Oklahoma is proud to help spread the word for a cause that hits close to home.

Our partners at Infinity Fire are hosting The Manly Invitational ALS Golf Benefit in support of Dustin and his family. This isn’t just a golf tournament. It’s people showing up for one of their own when it matters most.

ALS is a tough fight. It affects more than just the individual. It impacts families, kids, and every part of life around them. Events like this are how we stand together and remind folks they’re not facing it alone.

If you’re able, consider putting a team together, sponsoring a hole, or helping support in any way you can. Even sharing this post helps carry the message further.

We appreciate Infinity Fire and the continued partnership they’ve shown across Oklahoma. Now’s a good time to return that support.

Let’s show up.

The Oklahoma Fire Marshals Association, in partnership with OKIAAI and the Oklahoma Forensic Research Institute, is working to bring a Post-Flashover Fire Origin Investigation course to Oklahoma.

This will be a full week of hands-on training focused on real-world application. Students will work through fire pattern interpretation, compartment fire dynamics, arc mapping, origin hypothesis development, and a full-scale fire investigation scenario.

Hosted by Oklahoma City Fire Department at their training center, this course is designed to push beyond the basics and put you in a complex, realistic environment.

• Target timeframe: Mid–late May
• Cost: $700 per student
• CLEET credit available
• CFI scene exam requirements can be completed during the course

We need a minimum of 10 committed students (max 20) to make this happen.

If you’re serious about sharpening your investigative skills, this is worth your time.

Let us know if you’re interested or ready to commit.

Today, members of our legislative committee had the opportunity to speak with the Public Safety Caucus in the House of Representatives. We shared our organizational history, highlighted our mission, and emphasized our commitment to serving as a trusted educational resource.

Our goal today and everyday we spend at the capitol is to support lawmakers by providing expertise and guidance on code-related legislation and proposed changes.

We look forward to continuing to build this relationship and serving as a reliable partner in public safety.

Today, one of our very own received a unanimous vote of approval at the confirmation hearing for Senate Retirement and Government Resources Committee to be appointed as the Oklahoma Fire Chiefs Association representative to serve on The Oklahoma State Fire Marshal Commission.

Keep up the good work Chief Helmberger, we are looking forward to what is ahead for the Great State of Oklahoma.

Members of the FMAO community had the opportunity to attend and engage in a Q&A panel at the Oklahoma Fire Sprinkler Association annual Boondoggle today. The discussion covered important topics such as third-party compliance reporting, NFPA 25, NFPA 13, and more.

We truly believe that clear, open communication is the foundation of effective collaboration and is essential to achieving our shared goal of enhancing life safety within our communities. Thank you for having us OFSA!

Our office gave a presentation to the Fire Marshal's Association of Oklahoma, along with the ATF.

The purpose was to demonstrate how the court process works, so that Oklahoma’s Fire Marshall’s and Investigators can continue referring us important cases to successfully prosecute.

Closing out this year’s Spring Conference with a timely NFPA update.
