Which day is NOT observed as a holiday by the OKCFD?

New Year's Eve is not observed as a holiday by the Oklahoma City Fire Department. While many organizations may recognize it as a celebratory occasion, it does not have the same recognized status as the other holidays listed, which are officially designated as holidays for the fire department. Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day are both significant holidays that are traditionally recognized, allowing personnel time off to spend with family and friends. Veterans Day also holds importance, honoring those who have served in the military, and is observed for similar reasons. In contrast, New Year's Eve is often seen more as a festive occasion, but it does not carry the same formal recognition for time off within the department's policies.
