Fayetteville Arkansas Fire Department

09/11/2026

On September 11, we remember the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice while responding to the attacks of 9/11. We also honor the countless first responders who answered the call that day and in the days that followed.

The Fayetteville Fire Department was honored to participate in the University of Arkansas ROTC 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. As firefighters, we climb to remember those who never came home, to honor their sacrifice, and to carry their legacy forward.

Each step represents a name.
Each step represents a life.
Each step reminds us of the courage and sacrifice that define the fire service.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Hey, Friends! It’s Higbee. I want to wish you a PAW-some Labor Day weekend!

Before you enjoy the great outdoors, remember that dry conditions and a burn ban mean we all need to be extra careful.

• Follow the burn ban, no outdoor burning when it’s prohibited.
• Avoid anything that could create sparks or flames in dry grassy areas.
• Properly dispose of cigarette butts, never toss them on the ground.
• If you see smoke or a fire, call 911 and report it right away.

Let’s all do our part to keep our families, homes, and community safe this holiday weekend!

Have fun, stay safe, and don’t make me chase a fire truck!

Training never stops at the Fayetteville Fire Department. Our crews recently completed hands-on company assessments at the FFD Training Center, practicing skills they may need on their next emergency call.

This year’s training included forcing doors, Vent-Enter-Isolate-Search (VEIS), and connecting to standpipe systems.

Regular training helps our firefighters stay prepared, work safely as a team, and respond quickly and effectively when our community needs us most.
