25 years ago today hundreds of New York City Firefighters reported to their assigned duty stations like they did every morning. 343 would never return home.

Today we remember all the lives lost on that tragic day.

We will never forget.

“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children."
—former President George W. Bush.

The Sherwood Fire Department was awarded a $750 stipend from the national nonprofit Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC) on May 9th, 2026. Its purpose being to increase awareness about the dangers of home fires and the life-saving benefits of home fire sprinklers. Annually, a week is dedicated to bring awareness to these life-saving systems called Home Fire Sprinkler Week. This year’s week is May 10-16th.

Sherwood Fire Department will have an open house at Station #1 located at 400 Lantrip Rd, Sherwood, AR on May 9th from the hours of 9am-1pm. Citizens are encouraged to stop by and use a virtual reality headset to experience a room fire with no sprinklers versus a sprinkler protected room. With the NFPA Fire Sprinkler Initiative, HFSC co-sponsors Home Fire Sprinkler Week, an educational program carried out annually in the U.S. and Canada. The week unites the fire service in the effort to increase awareness of home fire dangers to civilians and responders and facts about installing fire sprinklers in new homes.

“Every community needs the facts about home fire sprinklers, including Sherwood.
We are honored to have been selected for this generous stipend,” “Using the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition’s educational materials, we will raise awareness of how quickly a home fire can become deadly and the life-saving impact of installing home fire sprinklers.”
-Sherwood Fire Department
According to HFSC:
● Without sprinklers, today’s home fires become deadly in as little as two minutes.
● These fires put residents and firefighters at risk from toxic smoke, heat and flames.
● With sprinklers, in a home fire the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate when the temperature reaches about 165F.
● The sprinkler will spray water directly on the fire, controlling or putting it out. In most home fires just one sprinkler activates.
The HFSC Stipend Program is funded through a grant from State Farm®.

We would like to take a moment to thank a few for the care they have given us over the last week. Tuesday we laid our brother Captain Estell to rest and the following departments stepped up and volunteered to run our fire stations allowing our entire department to attend his funeral. But we want to thank the following North Little Rock Fire Department, City of Little Rock Fire Department, Jacksonville Fire Department, Maumelle Fire Department and the Conway Fire Department fire trucks and Honor Guard for taking the lead with the procedures for laying Captain Estell to rest. These five departments sent fire trucks and personal to respond to emergency calls. Also we want to thank Sherwood Police Department for sending officers to all the stations to es**rt the fire trucks to the emergency calls. Last but not least MedFlight Little Rock for sending a helicopter to do a fly over at the funeral and Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services (MEMS) sending units as well to the funeral. Please know that all the above took stress off of us to pay respects to our fallen.

As the days start after the funeral we want to thank Arkansas State Police for sending their “Polar” team to assist in the firefighters mental health. Chaplins from all over have paid us visits and continue to check on us.

Together we will get through this and keep Captain Estell’s memory alive.
