We had the honor of attending the 5th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Event at the Bob Duncan Recreation Center!

Events like this bring hope, raise awareness, and help connect people with early detection resources they might otherwise be unable to access.

The Arlington Fire Department proudly presented Councilwoman Nikki Hunter with her very own pink fire helmet in recognition of her dedication and the hard work behind the scenes that makes this event possible.

Thank you, Councilwoman Hunter, and everyone who helped make this meaningful day possible. Your commitment to our community makes a difference!

Our wishes for cooler weather are finally coming true! A cold front is bringing cooler temperatures and chances for rain today into tonight. Get those hoodies ready, some areas of North Texas may see temperatures in the low to mid 40s in the next few mornings.

If you’re heading out, keep your eyes on the road, slow down, turn on your headlights, and allow extra following distance. Never drive through flooded roadways. Turn Around, Don’t Drown!

The Arlington Office of Emergency Management will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as needed.

Arlington Fire C Shift and Grand Prairie Fire Department came together for joint training at a cold storage facility, meeting with supervisory staff to discuss facility operations and safety. Firefighters also discussed response strategies and tactics for the unique challenges these facilities present.

Participating units included Arlington Truck 6, Engine 6, Engine 2, Battalion 3 and 505, along with Grand Prairie Truck 5, Engine 3, Engine 5, Battalion 1 and Battalion 2.

Training together builds familiarity, strengthens coordination and helps us better protect our firefighters and the communities we serve.

What a beautiful morning to celebrate our community heroes!

The Arlington Fire Department would like to extend a special thank you to Pantego Christian Academy for inviting us to participate in their Community Heroes Week! We enjoyed spending the morning with students, sharing what we do, and teaching them about fire safety and the important role first responders play in our community.

A big thank you to CareFlite, the Arlington Police Department, and American Medical Response Arlington for joining us and helping make this event such a great experience for the students.

Events like these give us an opportunity to connect with our younger generation, build relationships, and hopefully inspire a few future first responders along the way!

Thank you again, Pantego Christian Academy, for the warm welcome and for recognizing those who serve our community!

Thank you, Arlington! Your generosity helped the Arlington Fire Department and Arlington Professional Fire Fighters Local 1329 raise $28,305.03 in just three days during this year’s MDA Fill the Boot campaign!

Your donations support programs like MDA Summer Camp, where children ages 8–17 with neuromuscular diseases enjoy a week of friendship, fun and accessible activities at no cost to their families. Campers can participate in swimming, arts and crafts and adaptive sports, with on-site medical care from licensed professionals.

For campers, time away from home offers opportunities to build confidence, develop independence and grow as individuals. For parents and caregivers, it provides a valuable break from the daily demands of caregiving, knowing their children are supported and cared for.

Thank you for filling our boots and helping create these meaningful experiences for children and their families!

Arlington, you showed up in a big way!

Thanks to the generosity of our residents and everyone who donated, Arlington Fire Department and Arlington Professional Fire Fighters Local 1329 raised $28,305.03 in just three days during this year’s MDA Fill the Boot campaign!
