Tulsa Fire Department (TFD) Updates

TFD has responded to a few structure fires today. The Department is reminding people about the dangers of space heaters and carbon monoxide.

Space heaters should always be plugged directly into an outlet, placed away from combustible materials, and should never be left unattended. Ovens and stoves should not be used as heating devices as they can create carbon monoxide, and any generators in operation should be on the exterior of your home.

City Operations

Refuse & Recycling – While Martin Luther King Jr. Day does not affect residential operations, the severe cold and snow-packed neighborhood streets could impact the haulers’ ability to collect all routes on Monday. For the latest information on refuse and recycling operations, follow the City of Tulsa on Facebook, @CityofTulsa, and on X, @cityoftulsagov. More information will be sent out as operating conditions warrant.

Waterline Breaks

Extended periods of cold weather can cause an uptick in waterline breaks on City streets and in neighborhoods. As of today, there have been a handful of breaks.

If you see a waterline break on a City street or in a right-of-way, call (918) 596-9488. Before calling, the best way to check to see whether the break has already been reported is through the City's waterline break dashboard, which can be found online at www.cityoftulsa.org/breakboard.

Protecting Your Pipes

TFD has responded to a few residential waterline breaks today. To get tips on protecting your home from a waterline break, visit www.cityoftulsa.org/weather.
