Fire Dept Rejects Google’s Offer | Tulsa News

Google offered Sand Springs’ volunteer fire department a quarter-million bucks — but Chief Charley Pearson flat-out declined, saying community trust outweighs cash. Six months later, he’s still proud of the stand, especially as locals rally behind him against a proposed data center. This Saturday, September 12th, the department’s annual fundraiser kicks off at 10 AM with a massive garage sale, silent auction, car show, and even a roasted hog — all powered by community love. Meanwhile, in Tulsa, Land Legacy fights on legally to protect their easement, after a judge denied efforts to dismiss their case. It’s grassroots resilience in action — from fundraisers to courtroom battles, folks are standing tall for what matters.
