Stilwell Fire Department Station #1

located at 14 West Walnut Street

Tony Worley is the only full-time paid firefighter. He works an 8 hour shift Monday - Friday. Worley provides educational tours of the fire department to school children and goes to city schools for fire safety presentations. Call Tony to make an appointment at 918 696-7412.

Currently there are 21 firefighters on the roster including Worley. They respond to all fire related call and motor vehicle accidents within the city limits, and out in the county as needed. They cover from the bottom of Baron Hill to the top of Brushy Mountain on Highway 59 South; West on Highway 100 and Highway 51 from the city limits to the county line; and Highway 100 and 51 east to the state line of Arkansas.

“We cover a broad area,” said Worley. “We assist at car wrecks,

which can catch fire or may require jaws of life, and fires out to that area. We also respond to search and rescue with the City Police Department and county Sheriff’s Department. We’ve had a possible lost hunter, an older person who wandered from their house and drowning, to help with.”

Worley noted they are not a medical service, but are called out to assist EMS.

“Our guys are CPR trained but we’re not an EMS service, we provide lift assist,” he said.

They also assist rural fire departments with fire calls.

The volunteer firefighters have monthly in house training that includes search and rescue, auto extrication, all things house fire related and running pumps on the trucks.

“We’re here to supply a service and help out,” said Worley.
