At the South Arkansas Fire Protection District (S.A.F.P.D.), our commitment goes far beyond fighting fires. We proudly serve our community with a focus on safety, preparedness, and education—ensuring that residents across our district feel protected, informed, and supported year-round.

In partnership with the Salida Fire Department, we respond to local and regional emergencies with speed, professionalism, and care. Whether we're assisting with wildfire suppression, conducting controlled burns, or providing public safety information, our goal remains the same: to protect lives, property, and the land we all share.

We also believe in empowering our community with the tools and knowledge to reduce wildfire risks at home. Below, you’ll find a variety of resources—from fire restriction updates and emergency alerts to fire mitigation programs and educational materials—all designed to help keep you and your family safe.
