About

The Corley-Mtn. Rural Fire Department has been in existence since November 2001. The department was branched out from the Subiaco/Crossroads Fire Department. The Subiaco/Crossroads fire district which then covered its district and what is now the Corley-Mtn. fire district was so large, that response times to some areas were too long. In an agreement with both the Subiaco/Crossroads Fire Department and members of the Corley Community and the surrounding area, a new fire department would be established, the Corley-Mountain Rural Fire Association Inc.

Over the years, the fire department has had to overcome numerous obstacles to come to where it is today. In the beginning back in November 2001, only two trucks were in service and eventually became three two months later. Two of those trucks are still in service today; 1801 & 1802. Today, the Corley-Mtn. Rural Fire Department has 9 trucks and 3 stations. The newest station is the one which sits on Mt. Magazine built in a cooperative effort with the Corley-Mtn. RFD and the Mt. Magazine State Park which is one of the many Arkansas State Parks all over Arkansas.

CMRFD has been known as one of the fastest growing volunteer fire departments in Logan County. The Corley-Mtn. Rural Fire Department currently holds an ISO Class 9/7 rating. The Mt. Magazine region holds the class 7 while the rest of the area currently holds a class 9. However, that will change in the future as more equipment, manpower, and stations are being put into place.
