Oakley Volunteer Fire Department
Fire Chief: Tim Martin
Assistant Chief: Bill Schwarz

The Oakley Fire Department is comprised of volunteers from our community.  These individuals are our family, friends, and neighbors which means they bring a special understanding of protecting our community to the job.  

Twenty-four volunteers are on-call 24 hours a day and able to respond quickly to any call.  With City and County equipment, these volunteer fire fighters protect more than 600 square miles over three counties.   

The Fire Department is also very active in the community.  Volunteers from the Department actively seek to educate citizens (especially kids) on fire safety, help raise funds for a variety of community efforts, and participate in community events such as parades.  Support our Fire Department by attending the annual Fireman’s Ball usually held in February!
 

City Headlines


  • Stay cool with a visit to our pool this summer.  Located at Annie Oakley Park and open daily from 1pm-5pm!
  • In a landslide decision (nearly 80% voted in favor), the public voted to add a .5% sales tax to pay for street improvements in the City of Oakley.  Look for work to begin about this time next year after we have had time to accumulate funds!
  • All of the hard work paid off, and it paid off big time!!  The City has been awarded $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds by the Kansas Department of Commerce  to help pay for our new waste water treatment plant!
