Today, our probationary firefighters took on the Nance Drill — a critical training scenario that simulates rescuing a downed firefighter who has fallen through a floor.
Crews practiced multiple hoseline-based techniques to safely remove the victim, sharpening both their skills and their confidence under pressure.
A strong day of training, and invaluable experience gained!

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who supported us during the services for our fallen Brother, Tony Spero, this past Saturday.
A special thank you goes to our neighboring departments—Fayetteville, Lowell, Goshen, Rogers, Bentonville, Bella Vista, Siloam Springs, Hickory Creek, Central EMS, and Pafford EMS—for stepping up and ensuring our response coverage so that our department could attend the services together as a family.
We are also incredibly thankful to the Springdale Senior Center for hosting lunch for our crews, the Washington County Sheriff's Department for preparing the meal, and Tyson Foods for their generous food donation. Thank you to The Apollo on Emma for opening your doors to host lunch for Tony's family, and to Cross Church for graciously allowing us to use your facility for the service.
A heartfelt thanks as well to Hurts Donuts for organizing a fundraiser, and to the many individuals and community members who reached out, contributed, or reminded us that we are not alone.
Your kindness and support during this difficult time mean more than words can express. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.

Last night, Springdale Fire Department crews battled a residential structure fire. Firefighters worked for several hours to bring the fire under control. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
We want to extend our deepest thanks to the fire departments, police departments, and emergency personnel from Little Rock to Springdale who helped us honor Firefighter Tony Spero on his final journey home.
Your presence, respect, and support meant more than words can express. It was a powerful reminder of the strength and unity within the first responder community.
Here are a few photos from along the way, capturing just a glimpse of the honor and brotherhood shown to one of our own.
This past week, four members of our department had the incredible opportunity to serve as counselors at Camp Sunshine in Little Rock.
Camp Sunshine is a free, four-day residential camp designed for pediatric burn survivors. Entirely funded by the Arkansas Professional Fire Fighters and organized in partnership with Arkansas Children's Hospital, this camp provides a safe, supportive, and fun-filled environment for some truly inspiring kids.
Hunter Collins, Justin Pinkley, Brianna Harder, and Clayton Wormington represented us with pride, spending their week alongside a remarkable group of children and fellow firefighters from across the state.
The Springdale Firefighters Association Local 3007 is proud to support this life-changing camp and looks forward to continuing our involvement in the years to come!
The Springdale Fire Department is proud to announce the release of our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan! This document will guide our department’s growth and define our key areas for improvement over the next five years. Its creation was a comprehensive, four-month process involving valuable feedback from our community. Thanks to the input from both external and internal stakeholders—through surveys, a day-long information session, and committee meetings we have completed a thorough SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Challenges) analysis to sharpen our focus. Maintaining an updated strategic plan is crucial to adequately serve our citizens and uphold our accredited status through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) and the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS). We are committed to excellence and continuous improvement for the city we protect.
We invite all Springdale residents to view the full document on the City of Springdale's official website. https://www.springdalear.gov/o/sfd/documents/accreditation/423742
