OG&E Safety Partner award to the Yukon Fire Department

OG&E recognised the Yukon Fire Department through its Safety Partner programme, presenting a $1,500 award to the department at a ceremony attended by the Oklahoma City Thunder's mascot and Thunder Girls. The award recognises departments that partner with the utility on public electrical-safety education — the work firefighters do around downed lines, storm response and school safety demonstrations. Small awards like this one do not appear in a budget line, but they mark the kind of outside partnership that brings equipment, training and public-education material into Yukon at no cost to local taxpayers.

What it means: Outside recognition and funding for Yukon firefighters at no cost to local taxpayers
