"The department has a substation in Cincinnati, Arkansas, and the main station on the east side of the square, next to city hall.
Currently we man a staff of 30 firefighters and are running 10 trucks, 3 of which are tankers. We also man a rescue boat and emergency water rescue equipment. The Lincoln Fire Department partners with Central EMS which houses its service out of the Lincoln Fire Department.
The fire department has two senior positions, the Fire Chief, Willie Leming and Fire Administrator, Jay NORTON, who is full time with the City of Lincoln.
Jay is a graduate of Lincoln High School and has had a lifelong passion for defending people and structures from the ravages of fire. He began his career as a firefighter back in 1975, the same year he joined the Arkansas National Guard. He served in the Guard from 1975 through 1981 and retired from the volunteer fire department in 2000. In 2005 he was hired full time and became the City of Lincoln Fire Administrator, a senior position.
