Is open burning allowed in the City of Bryant?

Open burning is allowed provided that the guidelines are followed in Ordinance 2022-29.

Why does a fire truck come when you call for an ambulance?

Because firefighters can and do get there first most of the time, and time is critical in a medical emergency. Every Bryant fire fighter is cross-trained in Emergency Medical Services.

Four minutes is a critical time frame for someone who has experienced a heart attack, injury, or other illness that makes them stop breathing. The heart and brain have a better chance of full recovery they receive oxygen in four minutes or less. After that, a person can suffer brain damage or worse. Our firefighters can use life saving techniques including defibrillation to help prevent death or permanent injury.

When you dial 911 for a medical emergency, expect a fire truck. The expertise that they bring is truly lifesaving.

Why do you block traffic lanes at auto accidents, sometimes more lanes than necessary?

We block traffic lanes for the safety of our personnel and our patients. Blocking extra lanes keep our personnel safe when they go back to our apparatus to get more equipment and help protect the victim we are trying to stabilize.

Why am I not supposed to drive over a fire hose?

Firefighters are very concerned about running over fire hoses because the hose can be damaged and any firefighter at the end of a nozzle will have the water interrupted and possibly cause injuries or death. Any hose that is driven over without protection has to be taken out of service and tested.

Who do I call to report a broken hydrant?

Call the City's Water Distribution Department at (501) 943-0469.

Can you get my cat out of a tree?

The Fire Department assists Animal Services, if requested. The telephone number is (501) 943-0943 (#4).
