Okmulgee Fire Chief visits Lions Club

Lifestyle

September 9, 2022

By News Staff,

Tuesday’s Okmulgee Lions Club program was presented by recently- appointed Okmulgee Fire Chief Dewayne Hurt, a 27-year member of the local fire department, after serving as Interim Fire Chief following the January retirement of Fire Chief Bruce Swearingen. Firefighting must be one of the oldest professions because the Bible said when the Three Wise Men came to see Baby Jesus, they came from afar. I know, another groaner! I do apologize, dear readers, but that one was just too inappropriate to pass up. I guess I can use the Flip Wilson excuse - the devil made me do it.
