Yesterday I got to tour the Oklahoma City Fire Department’s new and improved Station 31. My favorite part was seeing my son’s picture on the wall. 😍

You gotta start somewhere and it’s never going to be perfect.

Sending prayers of love and strength to all his friends and family.

It is with deep sorrow the Oklahoma Highway Patrol announces the line of duty death of Trooper Vernon Brake.

On April 8, 2026, at 11:27 a.m., a vehicle traveling southbound on I-35 lost control for an unknown reason and crossed the center cable barrier. The vehicle struck Trooper Brake, who was traveling in the northbound lanes just south of Hefner Road in Oklahoma City.

Trooper Brake was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the other involved vehicle, along with a four-year-old passenger, were also pronounced deceased at the scene.

Trooper Brake was a graduate of the 56th OHP Academy in 2006 and has proudly served the Oklahoma Highway Patrol for nearly 20 years, with a significant amount of time assigned to Troop S (commercial motor vehicle enforcement). After his graduation from the academy, he also served in Oklahoma and Logan Counties.

Trooper Brake is survived by his wife and two children.

Our prayers and deepest sympathies are with his family as well as the family of the other driver involved.

OHP's Traffic Homicide Unit (THU) is conducting the investigation into the crash.

This is an amazing opportunity for our First Responders! ❤️

For the first time, Fire to Light’s Mental Fitness Certification Program is now available to individual firefighters and first responders through Warrior's Rest Foundation.

This program helps fill the gap between awareness and application. Created and tested by fire service leaders, it provides clear, practical “how-to” tools for training mental health from a performance perspective. It understands the demands of the job and the cumulative weight it carries over time.

This isn’t therapy. It’s fitness. Mental fitness is a trained operational skill.

Equip yourself, or share this with members of your team who would benefit.

One text has changed everything I thought I knew about my life. I’m not as Irish as I thought I was! Apparently I’m more Canadian than Irish. Do I claim dual citizenship? Anyone wanna take a trip to my hometown of Canada?

My New Year’s Resolution was to read one book a month. I’ve been successful for 3 months. Which I think is a first.
If you’ve struggled to break free of an abusive relationship, this is the book for you. It’s also a great book if you were abused as a child and can’t understand why you still feel like you’re under control of your abuser.
The Betrayal Bond tells you why you feel this way and gives you things to do to break free of that bond.

Sending love to all those who knew these individuals and to those who had to work the scene knowing them.

Our hearts are with the Goldsby Fire Department after the tragic loss of two firefighters.

We’re praying for their families, their fellow firefighters, and the entire Goldsby community. Warriors Rest Foundation stands with you.
