Get Major Britt Back To Station 34
Get Major Britt Back To Station 34
The Issue
Major Corey Britt
This is Major Corey Britt. He is a career firefighter working for Oklahoma City Fire Department. Major Britt has dedicated his life to public service, serving his community for 26 years. Major Britt was assigned to Blue Platoon at Station 34, where multiple other members of his crew stated that he looked after them like a father, always taking care of his younger guys. One firefighter mentioned a story recently when a house fire was about to flash over and cause damage to the entire crew; Major Britt, begin a veteran recognized this and pulled his guys out to avoid injury and possibly death. But you’ll never hear Major Britt bring up these war stories. He is humble, and cares about his community and family.
Recently Major Britt has made headlines as the Firefighter who drove a 3 years old child with 2nd and 3rd degree burns to the emergency room after waiting over 24 minutes for an ambulance. Major Britt, being a firefighter but also a father did what any reasonable human being, firefighter, and father would do in the situation. He knew the rules and regulations, and knew he would violate department policy taking the child inside the fire engine, but he knew that the child needed medical attention more. He put the child above himself, knowing the oath all firefighter make, and made a call.
Major Britt was demoted and moved to another fire station as a result of violating department protocols. I recently spoke to the Major. He explained the situation without violating any HIPPA violations, that his pay would remain the same but that he would be taken away from his crew at house 34, his family. I asked him what he wanted. He replied “i just want to be back with my guys”.
He doesn’t want fame. He doesn’t want a t shirt. He wants to be back where he belongs, serving the citizens of Oklahoma City and leading his crew and family into dangerous situations with absolute loyalty and commitment.
I told the Major we would get him back home, and that I’ll always call him “Major” because he is one. Let’s get this done.
