Fire Prevention Division 

The Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for public Fire Safety Education, Fire/Explosion Investigations, Fire Safety Compliance Inspections, Plan Review for Fire and Life Safety Systems, and coordinating community risk reduction programs and services. The activities of the Bureau are embedded in the fundamentals of "Prevention through Education, Inspection, and Enforcement".

The Bureau is under the direction of Battalion Chief Travis Hollis, who is assisted by Captain Bill Rumsey, Fire Prevention Specialist Michael Dean, and Administrative Assistant Jeanne Kelly. Together, this team works closely with the Rogers Building Inspections Department, Architects, Engineers, and Contractors to ensure the safety of Firefighters and the Community.

Mission of the Bureau 

It is the mission of the Fire Prevention Bureau to provide our customers with a greater quality of life through effective fire prevention education, quality inspections, conducting detailed investigations, implementing interactive community outreach programs. We rely on our trained and experienced personnel to reduce the loss of life and property from fire hazards. 

Public Fire Safety Education

The Rogers Fire Department is unique in the fact that we have dedicated personnel for the sole purpose of promoting and enhancing our public fire safety programs. Staff work with area businesses, schools, and community groups to create and deliver safety education.

Public Fire Safety Education
Rogers is home to one of the Fire Safety Houses that the Arkansas Children's Hospital owns. The Fire Safety House travels to public events and schools throughout the year to education children and parents about "home escape Plans" in the event of a fire. The house provides a mobile classroom environment that can't be duplicated. The safety house is on of the Rogers Fire Departments most used and visible tools when it comes to promoting fire safety. The safety house is available by appointment to local business, organizations, or other area fire departments.

Annual "In-Service" Training
The Fire Prevention Division will come to your facility and provide on-site training for fire extinguishers. The Fire Prevention Division utilizes  a state of the art fire extinguisher prop that does not require the discharge of any chemicals. In return your company is not out of any money refilling fire extinguishers after the training is completed. No chemicals are released into the environment. Cost:  $0

Senior Safety Education
Our senior citizens are an important part of our community. The Fire Prevention staff deliver an education program specifically geared toward senior citizens. Programs are delivered throughout the community, as requested.

Youth FIRE Quest
The Youth FIRE Quest (Fire Intervention and Re-Education) program was developed to work with youth involved in or who have displayed an interest in fire setting. It provides group or one-on-one intervention sessions for youth who have been involved in a "Fire Play" incident or who have been charged with a crime involving fire. Referrals are received from parents, concerned family members, the Juvenile Justice System, law enforcement, and the court system.  To receive help with this service contact our Fire Prevention Specialist: Michael Dean. You can also call a state wide hot-line to report arson or concerns. 501-568-FIRE
