Promises Made. Promises Kept. NLR Fire Department

Plans for the future Burns Park Fire Station #8 began back in 2018 to provide better service to North Little Rock residents and our firefighters. The new station has an estimated cost of $2.8 million and will be completely funded by the current “half penny” approved by voters in 2017. The new fire station will be a tremendous upgrade to the one currently located at 6550 MacArthur Drive in the Amboy neighborhood and will ensure that North Little Rock Firefighters will be able to respond and service its fire district faster and more efficiently. The new station in Burns Park will replace the existing Amboy fire station. In addition, the location of the new station will allow faster response times to other fire stations that are located on the perimeter of North Little Rock.

The new Burns Park Fire Station #8 will be constructed with decontamination rooms that will form clean and dirty contamination corridors for additional health and safety. The station will have four bedrooms, drive-thru bays and will house part of the department’s hazmat team, the bicycle team, and will accommodate the department’s second in-line battalion chief and battalion chief’s quarters. In addition to the most modern features and designs, the station will be connected to a North Little Rock Fire Department Memorial that will serve as the department’s place of honor for firefighters lost while on active duty.
