Today, we continued a long-standing Springdale Fire tradition by placing horseshoes into the fresh concrete at the new Station 4 construction site. For decades, every Springdale Fire Station has received its own horseshoes—positioned in the path of our responding apparatus as a symbol of good fortune, safety, and protection for our crews.
The tradition dates back to earlier days of the department, when firefighters believed the curved iron brought luck to anyone passing over it. Ever since, each new station has carried that legacy forward. As Station 4 takes shape, we’re proud to honor the history and the firefighters who came before us, and we look forward to the many years of service and safety this station will provide.

C-Shift firefighters responded to a commercial structure fire earlier today. Thanks to quick actions by the first-arriving units, they were able to contain the blaze to the area of origin and prevent further spread. Crews remained on scene for over an hour conducting overhaul and ensuring the building was safe. There were no injuries reported.

Last evening, we had the privilege of celebrating a special milestone at our Fall Pinning Ceremony. We welcomed new firefighters being officially sworn in.
These ceremonies are more than tradition—they're a testament to the commitment, courage, and leadership that define our department. The badges placed on each uniform represent not just rank, but the trust our community places in these men and women every day. To our newly sworn-in firefighters, welcome to the family.
Thank you to all the families, friends, and community members who joined us to celebrate this night of honor and achievement.
