🚒 Join Us for a Special Tradition in Hot Springs Village 🚒

The Hot Springs Village Fire Department invites our community to attend a Push-In Ceremony on Wednesday, May 6 at 11:30 AM at the Cortez Fire Station (110 Cortez Rd.).

This time-honored tradition dates back to the days of hand-drawn fire equipment, when firefighters would physically push their apparatus back into the station after a call. Today, it serves as a meaningful way to honor the past, celebrate the present, and welcome new equipment into service.

We encourage members to come out, show their support, and be part of this special moment alongside our dedicated firefighters.

We look forward to seeing you there. ❤️🚒

The burn bans for Saline and Garland Counties have been officially lifted.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation over the past several days as we worked together to keep our community safe during heightened fire risk conditions.

Although the burn bans have been lifted, we encourage residents to continue using caution when burning in recreational fire pits and to remain mindful of changing weather conditions.

Our department will continue to monitor conditions closely and will provide updates if necessary.

Thank you for helping us keep Hot Springs Village safe.

Wildfire danger has been elevated to HIGH this afternoon, and a Burn Ban is now in effect.

No outdoor burning is allowed, including recreational fire pits.

Per our fire policy:
When a burn ban is declared by the county judge of Garland or Saline County, or by a Hot Springs Village fire official, the entire Village remains under the ban until it is officially lifted.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping keep our community safe.
