Over the next couple of days, our firefighters will be visiting Clear Creek Elementary for Fire and Life Safety Education!

We’re excited to spend time with these students, teach important fire safety lessons, and help them learn how to stay safe at home and in their community. Educating the next generation is an important part of what we do, and we’re proud to help make fire safety fun, engaging, and memorable!

Remember: Fire safety starts with education!

🔥⚡ FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2026 ⚡🔥
Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower!

This Fire Prevention Week, Mountain Home Fire & Rescue is reminding our community that the way you charge your devices can help prevent a fire.

From cell phones and laptops to power tools, e-bikes, scooters, and toys, lithium-ion batteries are part of our everyday lives. When damaged or improperly charged, these batteries can overheat and cause dangerous fires.

🔌 Charge Smart. Stay Safe.
• Use the charger and cord provided by the manufacturer or an approved replacement.
• Charge devices on a hard, flat surface—not on a bed, couch, or other soft surface.
• Keep charging devices away from anything that can burn.
• Unplug devices when they are fully charged.
• Never use a battery that is swollen, damaged, unusually hot, smoking, or giving off an unusual odor.
• Charge larger batteries, such as those used in e-bikes and scooters, in a safe location away from exits.

Your everyday choices can make a difference. Be a charging superhero and help us prevent battery-related fires in our community! 🦸‍♂️🔥

Nothing quite like the adrenaline rush you get with the sirens wailing, lights flashing, and traffic givin' way. There's a special feeling you get every time you hear someone needs your help on the radio. Stakes are high, heart-rate is soaring, and every now and then you stop to think "yeah, this is the best job ever".
Can y'all relate?

FIREday Night Lights – Week 33 🔥

This week’s FIREday Night Lights is a special collaboration with HiViz Lighting!

We’re featuring Mountain Home Fire & Rescue #18923, a 2024 Rosenbauer Commander—but tonight, we’re putting the spotlight on what really stands out after dark: its HiViz FireTech warning and scene lighting package.

Thanks to HiViz for sharing these nighttime images and video with us, giving us the perfect opportunity to see this apparatus the way it was meant to be seen after the sun goes down.

🚨 Take a look at the OMEN lightbar.

We recently highlighted the latest HiViz OMEN technology at SAFRE, including the newer capability to display water-tank level through the lightbar itself. That feature wasn’t available when #18923 was built, but it’s a great example of how apparatus lighting technology continues to evolve.

🔵 And did you notice the blue at the rear?

Mountain Home’s lighting package incorporates a blue warning light at the rear of the apparatus, creating a distinct contrast within the predominantly red warning package. It definitely stands out in these nighttime photos—and we’re curious what firefighters think.

🇺🇸 NEVER FORGET. 9/11/01 🇺🇸

09/11/2026

Today, firefighters from Mountain Home Fire & Rescue, Mills River Fire & Rescue, and Etowah Horseshoe Fire & Rescue came together to honor the 343 FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001. This 9/11
Memorial Stair Climb is a powerful reminder of the courage, sacrifice and brotherhood that continues to unite the fire service. We also want to give a huge THANK YOU to West Henderson High School for generously allowing our firefighters to use their stadium! We climb for those who can no longer climb. 🪜🚒🇺🇸
