The Arkansas National Parks Fire Management Group can assemble a Type 2 Hand Crew, like this one from 2013, consisting of members from Arkansas' national parks. The crew can then be called to wildfires anywhere in the country for up to 21 days at a time.

Many NPS Park Rangers and Guides are certified as wildland firefighters. As part of the greater effort of protecting all of our national parks, these rangers are called upon to help conduct prescribed fires in other Arkansas parks, like Hot Springs National Park, Buffalo National River, or Pea Ridge National Military Park. They may also be called to fires in other parts of the country when they are needed.
There are no wildland fire management plans for President Clinton’s Home. Hope’s local fire department would be called in the event of a structural fire.
