Hello, Oxford (Catfish District) community!

My name is Wayne Smith, and it is an honor to serve as your Fire Chief.

I would like to take a moment and welcome you to our Department website.

Just like our beautiful hometown, our website has something for everyone. From our Department history, to our current equipment, to our fire safety information for the home, to tips for children, we have tried to make this the best website for our friends, family, and neighbors — and for the fire service community. 

Our department has been a part of the community for 54 years, and we hope to continue to be there for our citizens for many more. The fine group of dedicated men and women that make up our membership are just like you: everyday folks.

We are always looking for more “everyday folks” who are willing to dedicate some of their time to serve the community. Not every member has to fight fires to be an important part of our team. If you are interested in joining us, there is a place for you here with us.

Please enjoy your time on our website.

If you have any questions or comments about this site or about the Department please feel free to email me at chief@oxfordcatfishfd.com.

Thank you and be safe.

Wayne Smith

Fire Chief
