The NLRFD is a true community partner, offering many ways for the public to learn about fire safety and injury prevention.
Funding for our community services relies on grants and community support. If you would like to donate to one of our great programs, please contact NLRFD Central Office at (501) 340-5377.
Annual Fire Fest
Often imitated, but never duplicated, NLRFD’s Annual Fire Fest celebrates National Fire Prevention Week with kids’ activities, an obstacle course, truck displays, free health screenings, food and fun.
Fire Fest is held during National Fire Prevention Week (In October annually at McCain Mall). National Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record. It was established in 1922 to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres.
Educational Programs
The North Little Rock Fire Department offers fire safety presentations to local churches, schools, businesses and groups within the city. We provide fire extinguisher training, evacuation planning, fire drill preparation and age appropriate fire safety education. The NLR Fire Department also provides fire truck tours, station tours and fire safety puppet shows.
Please contact our office at (501)340-5377 or email us at fmo@nlr.ar.gov to schedule a program or event.
