The Mulberry Fire Department would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Crawford County Fire District 3 and the Mountainburg Police Department for hosting this year’s National Night Out!

Events like this are a great opportunity for our local first responders to come together with the communities we serve, build relationships, and enjoy an evening of fellowship and fun.

We appreciate everyone who worked behind the scenes to make the event possible and everyone who came out to participate. It’s always great spending time with our neighboring departments and the citizens of Crawford County.

🚒 Monday Night Training 🚒

Tonight, members of the Mulberry Fire Department took advantage of our regular meeting night to get some hands-on training and refresh some important skills.

Lt. Curtis Crawford led tonight’s training, walking our firefighters through the proper steps for pumping and operating our fire engines. Crews also spent time reviewing and working with some of the different tools and equipment carried on each of our trucks.

Knowing our apparatus and equipment is a big part of being prepared. When the call comes in, everyone needs to know where equipment is located, how it operates, and how to put it to work safely and efficiently.

A special thank you to Assistant Chief Ben Brewer, Captain Todd Brown, and Captain Kelly Mask for assisting Lt. Crawford with tonight’s training and sharing their knowledge and experience with our crews.

We appreciate everyone who came out tonight and put in the time. The more we train, the better prepared we are when our community needs us. 🚒🔥

Earlier today, the Mulberry Fire Department responded to a reported vehicle fire at 1st Street and Church Avenue.

Upon arrival, firefighters found a pickup truck heavily involved in fire. Crews quickly went to work extinguishing the fire and preventing it from spreading to the surrounding area and nearby property.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

We appreciate our firefighters for their quick response and continued dedication to protecting our community. These photos show some of our crews working to extinguish the fire and complete overhaul operations.

🔥 BURN BAN LIFTED – CRAWFORD COUNTY 🔥

Good afternoon, Mulberry area residents!

We finally received enough much-needed rain for the burn ban in Crawford County to be lifted. While conditions have improved, we want to remind everyone that lifting the burn ban does not mean the fire danger is gone.

📞 BEFORE YOU BURN — MAKE THE CALL.

If you are planning a controlled burn, please notify the Crawford County 911 Communications Center at 479-474-8000 and let them know where you will be burning. This simple phone call helps our dispatchers and firefighters distinguish a controlled burn from a possible emergency when smoke or flames are reported.

If you choose to burn:

• Have a responsible person remain with the fire at all times.
• Keep a water source or other means of extinguishing the fire immediately available.
• Never leave a fire unattended.
• Do not burn during high winds or when conditions could allow the fire to spread.
• Make sure the fire is completely extinguished before leaving the area.

⚠️ Remember: It is against the law to burn household trash or similar materials. Outdoor burning should be limited to allowable natural vegetation such as leaves, grass, brush, and other natural materials.

It looks like the dog days of summer are finally behind us, and fall is slowly making its way into the picture! 🍂

Campers and hunters, please take extra precautions with campfires. Even though we have received some much-needed rainfall, once this precipitation dries out, fire danger can quickly return. Before leaving a campsite, make certain your fire is completely out — if it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave.

🔥 Our request to everyone is simple: Call before you burn. Stay with your fire. Keep water nearby. Put it completely out.

One unattended or uncontrolled fire can quickly become an emergency. Please help us protect our homes, property, woods, and neighbors by burning responsibly.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep Mulberry and the surrounding area safe.

Please be careful and stay safe!

🔥 WILDFIRE DANGER — STATE OF EMERGENCY 🔥

Arkansas is now under a State of Emergency due to severe wildfire activity across the state.

⚠️ CRAWFORD COUNTY REMAINS UNDER A BURN BAN. ⚠️

Extremely dry fuels remain capable of supporting fast-moving and serious wildfires, even in areas that have received isolated rainfall.

Residents are strongly urged to avoid all unnecessary outdoor burning and use extreme caution with anything that could create a spark near dry grass, leaves, or vegetation.

Please be especially careful with:

🔥 Outdoor burning
⚙️ Mowers and other equipment
🔥 Welding or cutting
⛓️ Trailer chains dragging on roadways
🚬 Ci******es and smoking materials
🚗 Hot exhaust systems or vehicles parked in dry grass
✨ Anything capable of producing sparks

A small spark is all it takes to start a dangerous wildfire under these conditions.

🚫 Crawford County remains under a burn ban at this time. Please do not burn.

📞 If you see illegal burning, an unattended fire, or any fire that is out of control, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.

Please help us protect our communities, firefighters, homes, farms, and property. One preventable fire is one too many.
