🚨 BURN BAN EXTENDED — 14 MORE DAYS 🚨

Even with the rain we have received recently, Lincoln County is still experiencing drought conditions, and the ground remains dangerously dry.

The Lincoln County Commissioners have extended the countywide burn ban for another 14 days.

🔥 NO OUTDOOR BURNING
🚫 No burn piles
🚫 No trash burning
🚫 No brush burning
🚫 No controlled burns

We know everybody is ready to get back to normal, but one fire can get out of control fast. Please help us keep our communities, homes, land, and firefighters safe.

If you see smoke or a fire, call 911.

Thank you for doing your part and helping our firefighters stay safe. 🚒

It is with heavy hearts that we have learned of the passing of a brother firefighter from the Wellston Fire Department.

Our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers go out to his family, loved ones, and the entire Wellston Fire Department during this difficult time.

When one of our own answers their last alarm, the loss is felt throughout the entire fire service. We may wear different patches, but we all answer the same call and stand together as one brotherhood.

Rest easy, Brother. Your last alarm has sounded. Your watch is over.

We’ll take it from here. 🚒🖤

🔥🚒We are pleased to announce an important transition in leadership for our department. 🚒🔥

After a total of 18 years and 5 months of dedicated service to Sparks Fire, Chief Nick Collett has passed the torch to Chief Dylan Conover. Chief Collett became Chief in September 2014 and has been the longest-serving Chief in the history of our district. His leadership, commitment, and countless contributions have shaped Sparks Fire into the strong, reliable department it is today. We are grateful that he will continue serving as a firefighter until he retires.

Chief Dylan Conover brings a fresh, new perspective, valuable prior experience, and proven dedication to the role. He served with the Strother Fire Department from December 2018 to July 2020 before joining Sparks Fire in July 2024, where he has quickly become an active and engaged member of our team supporting fellow firefighters and contributing to our ongoing mission of protecting lives and property. His enthusiasm, hands-on approach, and commitment to volunteer service make him an excellent fit to lead Sparks Fire forward. We are excited about the innovative ideas and strong leadership he will bring to the department in the years ahead.

Alongside him, Caroline Conover (Dylan's wife) has taken over as Board Clerk/Treasurer from Misty Collett. Caroline is stepping into this key position with enthusiasm and a fresh outlook, ready to provide the reliable administrative support our department needs moving forward. Misty served as Board Clerk/Treasurer since January 1, 2020, and previously as President of the Sparks Fire Ladies Auxiliary from 2018 to early 2025.

Please join us in thanking Chief Nick Collett for his extraordinary service and Misty Collett for her many years of dedication. We extend a warm welcome to Chief Dylan Conover and Board Clerk/Treasurer Caroline Conover as this dynamic team helps guide our department into an exciting new chapter. We're proud of our legacy and energized for what's ahead.

Stay safe, stay strong, Sparks Fire. 🚒❤️
