Common assistance includes pushing cars out of intersections, changing flat tires, or providing transportation to locate a phone.

Discretion is used by company officers regarding deployment status during citizen assistance.

Municipal Ordinances, Title 2 contains information on animals within Tulsa.

Animal Control Officer (ACO) Response

TFD units can directly request Animal Control via the Fire Alarm Office (FAO) without waiting for Tulsa Police Department (TPD) intervention.
ACOs available Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:30 hrs; after-hours contact for emergencies is possible.
ACOs respond to situations involving animal cruelty, bites, livestock on roads, injured animals, and those obstructing public safety.

Pet masks in three sizes available on district chief vehicles for animals in respiratory distress.
