Owasso Fire Prevention Association
(OFPA)

The Owasso Fire Prevention Association Trust (OFPA) was formed in 1990 as an answer to the need for public fire education within the City of Owasso. 
The goal of the OFPA was to raise money to fund
fire prevention education to the school children of
the Owasso area.  As our community both grew and changed, the mission of the OFPA changed also. 
In 1994 the OFPA started the “Partners in Prevention” program.  This program was a vehicle that allowed for networking of local businesses and organization to assist the OFPA in obtaining our goals.

With the community changes, the OFPA also widened its goals from just fire prevention to include life safety education as part of its focus.  The “Partners in Prevention” program gave the OFPA the flexibility it needed to adapt to this new goal.

A key supporter of the “Partners in Prevention” program has been Mr. Michael Watson and Allstate Insurance.  Mr. Watson became the “front runner” for the partners in Prevention program and has been very effective in helping us reach our goals.

Many of our community programs have included:

• Public Fire Education, approximately 5,000 children a year.
• Youth Rodeos.
• Child Safety Training.
• Fingerprinting and home DNA kits.
• Sponsoring a school in Learn Not to Burn
• Helping to man booths at special events for Fire Prevention
• Helping with Golf Tour to raise money for OFPA.
  

The secondary mission of the OFPA is the preservation and historical aspect of the fire service as a means of education.  We feel that by preserving the past, and the since of nostalgia it brings, we can reach more people with our message of life safety and fire prevention.
