The OSFM is requesting that all fire departments and EMS services notify their office of any department members currently on quarantine due to COVID-19, and especially any firefighters that have tested positive for COVID-19. It is important that we track these numbers in order to ensure mutual aid assistance and other resources for affected departments as this crisis continues. Your cooperation will help keep fire protection at an effective level across the state.
