• Tours of your local Paragould Fire Station are available upon request. Station tours last approximately 30 minutes and include viewing the fire engine, firefighting equipment, and other apparatus available at a particular station as well as talking to the firefighters about their job.

Tour Criteria

• Fire Station tours may be scheduled between the hours of 9:00 am to 11:30 am and 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm - Monday through Saturday.
• Please allow a minimum of two weeks in advance to schedule a tour.
• Group size must be 25 or fewer total participants (including children and chaperones).
• Fire stations remain "on-service" during tours. Fire companies may need to respond to emergencies at any time. If they do, it will be necessary for the tour to end and your group exit the station. Please keep this in mind when visiting.
• For small groups of four or less, you can just stop by your local fire station. If the crews are not busy they will be happy to show you the station. Stations are open to the public each day from 9:00 am - 7:00 pm. No special reservation is required for individuals.
• Accurate information should be provided for the total number of participants and their ages so the appropriate fire safety and prevention material can be provided after the tour.
• Group station tours will not be provided during the month of October. This month is devoted to education in the local schools.
• You will be contacted within three business days of your submission to confirm schedule.

Community Event Criteria

• Please complete all the fields. If a field does not apply, please type "n/a." Your request will not be completed if there is any missing information and will be marked in red.
• While firefighters enjoy participating in community events, our first priority is providing quality, timely, and professional emergency services to those who live in, work in and visit the City of Paragould. We may not be able to accommodate all event requests due to firefighter training and other scheduling conflicts
• If a fire crew attends your event, they will typically remain "in service" and stage the apparatus somewhere that allows them to leave quickly if they are dispatched to an emergency.
• Fire crews visits are never guaranteed. you must understand that responding to an emergency may cause the crew to be late to the event, to have to leave abruptly, or in some cases, to not show up at all.
• We aim to confirm the event within one week of the requested event date.
• No community events or station tours will be scheduled on a holiday observed by the city of Paragould without approval.

Examples of events that the Paragould Fire Department will attend: public life safety and fire education presentations for any age and to provide emergency medical assistance and first aid for larger events.

• Groups looking to participate in CPR training or First Aid training (Stop The Bleed) need to contact Kyle Jackson or Chris Rollings at 870-239-7525 Monday-Friday 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM.
