===Fire Departments and Districts===
Payne County is supported by a total of 11 fire departments, two of which are fully paid and staffed 24/7/365 (Cushing and Stillwater). All 11 departments in Payne County came together in October 2007 to sign a mutual aid agreement (Payne County Fire District Association), agreeing to support one another in times of need with manpower, equipment, and supplies. Additional automatics aid agreements have been signed by smaller groups of departments, automatically providing aid to one another for specific fire situations, such as structure fire calls, natural disasters, etc. 

These departments are all supported by a portion (5%) of the Payne County 3/8 cent sales tax, which also supports the highways, a general fund, the Payne County Sheriff's Department, and Payne County Fairgrounds. This tax must be renewed every 5 years, and was last renewed in 2022.
