I know for a fact OKC PD is hurting for man power and is wanting to get big class in the next academy, finding quality applicants that can pass through the entire process is a big hang up for a bunch of people. But they are definately trying to add a lot of position here in the near future.

And having gone through fire fighter school I know there is always an ample amount of guys trying out for those positions so the FD gets to pick and choose the best of the best in the area.
