From our Union to our Firefighters -thank you for your sacrifice, and dedication to protecting our city.
Your service means everything to this community.

Last night at Smoke & Guns 11 was nothing short of incredible. We came together for a great cause, raising money for two outstanding charities.
The energy at the BOK Center showed just how strong this community is when we rally behind something bigger than ourselves.
It was a night full of excitement, competition, and pride. The firefighters came out on top, taking 8 matches to the police 5, but the real win was the support, camaraderie, and shared purpose that filled every moment of the event.

Beyond grateful to all the sponsors and to everyone who showed up, cheered loud, and stood behind their favorite fighters.
Looking forward to the Smoke & Guns 12, in 2027.

It is with deep sorrow the Oklahoma Highway Patrol announces the line of duty death of Trooper Vernon Brake.

On April 8, 2026, at 11:27 a.m., a vehicle traveling southbound on I-35 lost control for an unknown reason and crossed the center cable barrier. The vehicle struck Trooper Brake, who was traveling in the northbound lanes just south of Hefner Road in Oklahoma City.

Trooper Brake was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the other involved vehicle, along with a four-year-old passenger, were also pronounced deceased at the scene.

Trooper Brake was a graduate of the 56th OHP Academy in 2006 and has proudly served the Oklahoma Highway Patrol for nearly 20 years, with a significant amount of time assigned to Troop S (commercial motor vehicle enforcement). After his graduation from the academy, he also served in Oklahoma and Logan Counties.

Trooper Brake is survived by his wife and two children.

Our prayers and deepest sympathies are with his family as well as the family of the other driver involved.

OHP's Traffic Homicide Unit (THU) is conducting the investigation into the crash.

Last Thursday, Tulsa Local 176, hosted an incredible night out at Drillers Opening Day! Filled with great food, fun, laughter, and time well spent celebrating our members. The evening wrapped up with an amazing fireworks show that made it one to remember.

To everyone who came out, thank you for being part of it and helping make the night special.

On behalf of the Tulsa Firefighters Union Local 176, congratulations to recruit class 113 on reaching this milestone. The journey ahead will be challenging, but you’ve already shown you have the strength, courage, and heart to rise to it.
Welcome to The City Of Tulsa F.D. Your commitment to serving and protecting our community represents the very best of what it means to wear the badge.

While this snow storm blankets our city, our Tulsa Firefighters continue to stand watch day and night, prepared to respond to any emergency.
For your safety and ours, please stay off the roads and allow Tulsa Firefighters the space they need to do their jobs.
In times like these, staying home is an act of strength and support.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his timeless message of justice, equality, and love. Let us keep serving, standing, and striving together.
