Last night we began training on Water Shuttle Operations. But, shortly after 4am we got some real hands-on experience. Great job to all the men and women who showed up. The homeowner was able to make it out safely. Unfortunately though the house was a complete loss. We ask that you keep him in your prayers.

10 trucks and 17 personnel made that early morning run. It’s not easy, but we love our community. ❤️ 🚒

Across Arkansas, wildland firefighters, foresters, rangers, and volunteer departments are facing more fires and more dangerous conditions. When a wildfire starts, they move toward heat, smoke, and unpredictable terrain to protect our forests, our homes, and our communities. They do this knowing the risks, and they do it day after day.

We can support them by following burn bans, staying weather aware, and being fire smart in our daily activities. Give crews and equipment the room they need to work and take time to thank the people who serve on the line and in our communities.

Our firefighters stand ready when Arkansas needs them. Let’s do our part to help keep them safe.
