About Us

Located at 6424 S. Midwest Blvd, Guthrie, OK 73044, the Sooner Volunteer Fire Department operates under Title 18 of Oklahoma Law and provides fire and medical first responder services for South Central Logan County.

Formed in the summer of 1996 it was originally based at the Central Christian Camp.  The Sooner Volunteer Fire Department was incorporated in 1997 and moved to its current home in 1998. 

In 2005, 2 A.E.D.'s were added to compliment the EMT trained firefighters to provide first response medical assistance.

What is Title 18?

Title 18 means that while the department does receive a share of Logan county sales tax dollars that make up about 2/3 of the department’s budget, the rest is made up from dues and grants. In other words, your membership makes a big difference in the department's ability to respond to emergencies. It does no good to have a fire truck without gas to make it go!

While we are a Title 18 department, some nearby home-owners have voted in their area to have a Title 19 department.  What this means is that their property taxes include fees to support their fire department.  So while you may speak with your neighbors in other areas and wonder why they aren't asked to join a fire department, realize that they are already paying just in a different way.  Click for Service Area Maps
