Please do not do any outdoor burning. The fire danger is high in our county and conditions could cause the burning of materials to spread easily.

Fire Dues

If you own property in RFD # 1's district, dues to the department must be paid in order to receive services from our department without any charge. We respond to all paged calls but charges will be issued to persons who have not paid the current years dues. Initially, the cost is $35, then $25 each year, payable in January. These dues help our department maintain our equipment, buy fuel for firetrucks, etc...

You may pay your dues two different ways: through the tax collectors office at the Johnson County Courthouse or by sending your check to: Johnson County RFD #1, 186 CR 3546, Clarksville, AR 72830. Should you have questions, please feel free to call Fred or Billie Taylor at 479-754-6052.
