Huntsville, Arkansas
The Huntsville Fire Department was organized shortly after WWII and formally recognized by the Insurance Services Office, the organization that establishes Public Protection Classifications, and the state of Arkansas in 1953. Since its inception, it has been staffed by volunteers within the community to respond to emergency situations ranging from fires, to medical calls, to water rescues, vehicle extrications, and high angle rope rescues. The members pride themselves on being aggressive with fire attacks, compassionate with medical assists, and ever ready to meet the challenges of those in imminent danger. The Huntsville Fire Department currently holds an ISO Public Protection Classification of 4.
