Springdale Fire Department

Last night, our crews responded to a 2nd alarm structure fire that caused significant damage to a residence. Thankfully, the occupant was able to evacuate safely before our arrival.

While conducting a primary search of the home, firefighters located three dogs and one cat unconscious inside the structure. Crews immediately removed the animals and administered oxygen using the pet O2 masks carried on all of our fire apparatus. Thanks to their quick actions and training, all four pets made a full recovery on scene.

This morning, A-Platoon members trained on a mock confined space rescue, practicing how to locate and safely extricate an unconscious patient from a below-grade hole.

Drills like this sharpen teamwork, communication, and technical rescue skills—keeping our crews ready to respond when it matters most.

Last night, C-Platoon firefighters responded to a residential kitchen fire. First-arriving crews made a quick attack and contained the fire to the kitchen, preventing it from spreading to the rest of the home.

No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

This afternoon, firefighters responded to a two-story residential structure fire on Chapman Avenue. The occupants were home at the time of the incident but were able to safely evacuate prior to our arrival. There were no injuries reported. Crews worked quickly to contain and extinguish the fire.

C-Platoon firefighters responded to an early morning structure fire. Actions taken by first-arriving crews resulted in a solid stop, saving the majority of the structure. The fire remains under investigation.

This morning, just after 3:00 a.m., our crews responded to and contained a brush fire on South Thompson Street. Extremely dry conditions continue, and the region remains under a burn ban.

Since the City of Springdale is located in both Washington and Benton counties, we have received questions regarding outdoor burning after the burn ban was lifted in Benton County today, while remaining in effect in Washington County.

Please note that the burn ban remains in effect for the entire City of Springdale, regardless of which county your property is located in.

Last night, B-Shift crews responded to a residential structure fire. Firefighters made a coordinated attack with multiple hose lines, bringing the fire under control. Extensive overhaul operations were completed. No injuries were reported, though the structure sustained significant damage.

As we get ready to welcome the New Year, we’d like to share a couple of important safety reminders with our community.

Burn Ban: All of Northwest Arkansas is currently under a burn ban due to extremely dry conditions and dormant grasses that can cause fires to spread quickly.

Fireworks: Please remember that the sale and discharge of fireworks are not permitted within Springdale city limits during New Year’s celebrations.

Thank you for helping us keep Springdale safe. From all of us at your fire department, we wish you a safe and Happy New Year!

As our city continues to grow, so do the challenges we face. Today, Ladder 8 and Engine 5 trained on hose stretches and ladder placement at new apartment buildings—making sure we’re prepared for whatever comes next.

Today’s highlight is the staff at the Mickey Jackson Training Center, the department chaplains, and our licensed counselor who serves the entire department. Our department greatly appreciates the work they do!
