Wildland Fire & Fire Breaks
In cooperation with fire departments and other first responders across the state, OKIE811 will process emergency notices to members during an incident of imminent danger posed by wildland fires and fire breaks to underground facilities.
When a wildland fire incident occurs in a particular county, it is expected that local fire departments will contact OKIE811 to report the wildland fire. We will also use the emergency notice to members for firebreaks in an unplanned emergency in conjunction with a wildland fire. This process allows the onsite contact to coordinate with the member companies in determining the best location for the firebreaks.
Contact OKIE811 by phone, dial 811 or 1 (800) 522-OKIE (6543)
