Please join us in congratulating Lane Morton on his recent promotion to Driver/Engineer!

Lane has been a member of the department for a little over three years and has been working toward this accomplishment since the day he became eligible. His strong work ethic, positive attitude, and dedication to the job are qualities that set a great example for those around him.

Lane had the honor of having his wife, Kallie, pin his new badge, making the occasion even more special. In attendance were Lane’s family, Chief Fletcher, and the members of A-Crew.

Congratulations, Lane, on a well-deserved accomplishment! Your hard work has paid off. Keep pushing yourself, setting the example, and being a leader for those who will follow in your footsteps. We’re proud to have you on the team!.

A BIG thank you to the Texarkana Fastpitch Youth Softball Association for their generous $1,500 donation to the Texarkana Arkansas Fire Department!
Your kindness and support are truly appreciated. TYSA is a wonderful organization that plays an important role in developing the youth of our community. Being active, working together, and learning to be part of a team are qualities that carry well beyond the softball field.
These same qualities are the foundation of what we do as firefighters. Teamwork, dedication, and having each other’s backs are essential to our profession, and organizations like TYSA help instill those values in the next generation.
Thank you for investing in our community and supporting your local firefighters. We are grateful to have organizations like yours standing behind us!
Thank you TYSA!!!

Code enforcement, fire origin and cause investigation, arson law enforcement, public fire safety education, and on-call 24/7. Not many people can keep up that schedule but our Fire Marshal, Larry Cook, does a great job and we are proud to have him as a member of the department.

Let’s talk about Assembly Points: A designated safe meeting area outside and upwind from the building, far enough away to stay clear of emergency responders. Thanks to Texarkana Arkansas Fire Marshall Larry Cook for educating and training our staff and volunteers.

Be sure to look for our firefighters tonight at the corner of Arkansas Blvd. and Jefferson. They will be there from 4-6pm raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Help fill the boot.

The National Weather Service has issued a rare red flag warning for our area. This warning will be in effect from Friday morning through early Saturday morning. Burn bans are in effect for both the city and county. TAFD asks for everyone to refrain from any activity that could create a fire during this time. Please report any fires immediately by calling 911, the faster we can get there limits the chance of it spreading.
