Appreciation for Arkansas Firefighters at 2022 Rural Fire Show

The Arkansas Department of Agriculture's Forestry Division and the Arkansas Rural and Volunteer Firefighters Association is hosting the 2022 Rural Fire Show on October 1, at the Conway Expo and Event Center.

This is a free event in appreciation of all firefighters in Arkansas and their families to honor them and give recognition for all they do in protecting our communities around the state.

According to Joe Fox with the Forestry Division “We have more than 850 rural fire departments that partner with us when we fight wildland fires.”

The event will include training opportunities, equipment demonstrations, resources and information, networking opportunities, and a catered lunch with door prizes. The grand door prize for the event will be an auto extraction combination tool.
