This evening, units responded to a vehicle fire threatening a structure. E2 arrived on scene of a heavily involved vehicle next a wall of the South Pleasant Street Walmart. A quick extinguishment by personnel prevented spread to the building. No injuries reported, all units have returned to service.
We would like to provide a reminder that our area is under a burn ban and conditions are extremely dry. Monday afternoon our crews, along with help from Fayetteville, Tontitown, Cave Springs, Lowell, Johnson Fire Departments, and Arkansas Forestry, assisted with a large grass/brush fire that originated on the shoulder of I-49 and spread westerly toward N. 48th Street. The fire burned a barn and endangered several homes, but fortunately crews were able to successfully protect them. Thank you to our neighbors for the assistance.
We were fortunate on Monday, when the rain held off in order to host our 5th annual Fairways Fore Firefighters Golf Tournament. This event helps to fund the SFD benevolent college fund, as well as our Christmas toy drive. 102 friends participated in this year's tournament, which was held at Springdale Country Club. We would like to give a special thank you to our chief sponsor, Milestone Construction Company, which has been our cheif sponsor for our previous four tournaments. We would also like to thank Chambers Bank for the Assistant Chief sponsor. And we appreciate Signature Bank for gifting us with grilling for all golfers! We couldn't do this without our community support!
Yesterday afternoon around 4pm, SFD units responded to a commercial structure fire. Crews arrived on scene and discovered a trash compactor on fire within the building. The fire was quickly extinguished and contained to the single unit. #springdalefire
As we enter the fall season, the Fire Department is often invited to participate in public events. Saturday, Engine 1 helped the Springdale Public Schools Education Foundation with their annual Duck Race. This was a record setting activity, as there were 5,302 ducks that made their way down Spring Creek toward the finish line!
Last night’s pinning ceremony was nothing short of inspiring! We had the honor of recognizing our newly sworn firefighters and paramedic graduates, as well as celebrating the well-deserved promotions of two team members.

Have you checked out the IDRIVE Arkansas app? It's your source of traveler information for Arkansas highways, as well as a free download from the App Store. The app also includes links to highway cameras, with live roadway information. For instance, yesterday, it showed our crews battling a car fire on Interstate 49.
Over the past two days, 14 firefighters completed promotional testing for the position of Driver/Operator.
This rigorous process -which is only offered every two years- not only tests their technical skills, but also their commitment to excellence and leadership in high-pressure situations. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication to take on this challenge.
Thank you to everyone who supported them along the way, and to all of our firefighters for their daily commitment to keeping us safe.

Crews have been active during the past week attending multiple training activities, as well as Public Relations events. Several recruits have been completing their 1st year of probation testing, while other crews have been exercising procedures for Haz-mat emergencies and vehicle extrications. To top off the week, SFD was invited to participate in "Breakfast and Beanbag Baseball" with some residents from the Springdale Senior Center, many of which take their Beanbag Baseball very seriously! Needless to say we did not know this competition would be so competitive! It was enjoyed by all.
🚒🔥 Welcome to Our New Firefighters & Kudos to Our Trauma Trainers! 🔥🚒
We’re excited to welcome our four newest recruits to the department! They will be attending the regional fire training academy held this fall at the Mickey Jackson Training Center. Their journey begins now, and we’re thrilled to have them on board as we work together to keep our community safe.
A special shoutout to our paramedics and firefighters who spent this week undergoing Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) training. Their commitment to mastering these critical skills ensures that we're prepared for any emergency, no matter how challenging.
Here's to growth, learning, and making a difference every single day!
