As we get ready to welcome the New Year, we’d like to share a couple of important safety reminders with our community.

Burn Ban: All of Northwest Arkansas is currently under a burn ban due to extremely dry conditions and dormant grasses that can cause fires to spread quickly.

Fireworks: Please remember that the sale and discharge of fireworks are not permitted within Springdale city limits during New Year’s celebrations.

Thank you for helping us keep Springdale safe. From all of us at your fire department, we wish you a safe and Happy New Year!

Today, we continued a long-standing Springdale Fire tradition by placing horseshoes into the fresh concrete at the new Station 4 construction site. For decades, every Springdale Fire Station has received its own horseshoes—positioned in the path of our responding apparatus as a symbol of good fortune, safety, and protection for our crews.
The tradition dates back to earlier days of the department, when firefighters believed the curved iron brought luck to anyone passing over it. Ever since, each new station has carried that legacy forward. As Station 4 takes shape, we’re proud to honor the history and the firefighters who came before us, and we look forward to the many years of service and safety this station will provide.

C-Shift firefighters responded to a commercial structure fire earlier today. Thanks to quick actions by the first-arriving units, they were able to contain the blaze to the area of origin and prevent further spread. Crews remained on scene for over an hour conducting overhaul and ensuring the building was safe. There were no injuries reported.

Cold temperatures and freezing rain created hazardous conditions across the city this morning, leading to several traffic accidents. Our crews responded quickly and worked efficiently to ensure each incident was managed safely.
