Sunday , September 27th, 2026. At 1344 Floyd Romance Fire Department was dispatched to the area of Church Rd and AR-305 for reports of an illegal burn. Upon arrival we found a brush pile burning that we quickly extinguished. Brush 3 and 6 personnel responded.
There was a misunderstanding about the burn ban. The entire state remains under a high risk of fires 🔥 and the majority of the state, including White County, remains under a Burn Ban. You can find the status of the burn ban by following our page, checking https://mip.agri.arkansas.gov/agtools/Forestry/Fire_Info?do:showBurnBans, signing up for White county alerts (I have included the flyer), or calling the non emergency line for White County dispatch.
Monday, September 28th, 2026. Floyd Romance Fire Department was dispatched to the 1300 block of AR-31 for a report of a MVA with unknown injuries. Once we made scene we found a single vehicle MVA involving a motorcyclist. We made the decision to close AR-31 down to one lane to ensure the safety of all first responders while we worked to clear the accident. We had 9 personnel respond with Squad and Brush 1 providing traffic control. White County Sheriff's Office Arkansas, Arkansas State Police, and NorthStar EMS responded as well. Patient was treated and transported by NorthStar.
When approaching an accident scene/large congregation of emergency vehicles with lights activated, please SLOW DOWN and be prepared to stop. Thank you to everyone for their patience and for everyone that drove slowly through the scene.
