Arkansas to Host Free Rural Fire Show in Conway, AR on October 4

The Arkansas Department of Agriculture and the Arkansas Rural and Volunteer Firefighters Association are partnering to host the 2025 Rural Fire Show this Saturday, October 4, from 9 AM to 2 PM. This is a free annual event and will be held at the Conway Expo and Event Center located in Conway, Arkansas.

Training, Resources, and Gratitude

The Rural Fire Show recognizes the vital service that Arkansas's rural and volunteer firefighters provide across the state. The event offers valuable resources, training sessions, equipment demonstrations, and networking opportunities, with over 50 vendors expected to attend.

“Rural and volunteer firefighters are often the first to respond when wildland fires threaten Arkansas communities and forests,” said State Forester Kyle Cunningham. “Their dedication and service make them a vital part of our fire response, and the Rural Fire Show is one way we can show our gratitude while providing training, resources, and support for them and their families.”

 

How to Attend

All firefighters and their families are invited to attend. A catered lunch and door prizes will be provided. You must, however, RSVP to this invitation. Do that with the link below.
