A Cooler Uniform for Hotter Days

If you’ve noticed our firefighters looking a little more casual lately, there’s a good reason.

During National Weather Service Heat Advisories, El Dorado firefighters are being allowed to wear gray department T-shirts instead of our traditional dark navy duty polos. The lighter shirts will help our crews stay a little cooler while working outdoors in this oppressive South Arkansas heat.

Our firefighters still maintain a professional appearance, but their safety and well-being are important, especially when temperatures and heat indices reach dangerous levels.

Once the extreme heat passes, you’ll see our crews return to their normal duty uniforms.

Until then, stay cool, stay hydrated, and check on your neighbors. We’re ready when you need us.
