About the 70 West Fire Department

One of the most progressive volunteer fire departments in Arkansas, the 70 West Fire Department, is proud of the opportunity we have to serve our community. We have set our goals high in order to train firefighter, medical, and rescue staff to provide the best in a full complement of fire suppression, prevention, extrication rescue, water rescue, hazardous materials, and emergency medical services for the 70 West area.

Since it's humble beginning in 1969, 70 West has evolved into a complex agency for meeting the emergency needs of the 70 West Community. Today, approximately 38 men and women volunteer to respond out of six stations strategically positioned throughout our 118 square mile coverage area.
