Personnel
Chief | |
 | Billy Joe Evans Our fire department is blessed with a natural leader. Chief Billy Joe Evans is a very involved and caring man. He has moved up through the ranks of our volunteer department and has more than proven himself. Chief Evans is completely volunteer like the rest of the department. He spends much of his personal time on nights and weekends shuffling paperwork and returning phone calls. He never asks more of his members than he is willing to do himself. Our chief is backed by a wonderful family. Sandy Evans, the chief's wife, is a first responder and the department's safety officer. Their daughter Kala is a firefighter and first responder. The Evans' other child, Steve, spends a good deal of time helping out as well. |

Captain | |
 | Jim Cheever Jim Cheever owns a local towing service and auto garage. So, when a truck breaks down, he's a natural resource for us to call on. Jim is a man of integrity and an asset to the Yellville community. He's also one of the best extrication rescuers in the area! |
Training Officer | |
 | John VanScoy John is a master electrician and department supervisor at the local Ranger Boats factory. He is an accomplished instructor and a good project manager. Thus, he comes in handy with coordinating training and activities within our department. Being a boss at work, he can drop things and run if the fire's a bad one. Plus, he can work on our wiring! John's wife Aimee has spent a lot of time working on our fire department auxiliary. Though not an active firefighter, she is a staunch supporter and is very much appreciated. |
 | Loye Hellums Loye is a first responder and firefighter. He enjoys sharing his knowledge, so the department sent him to instructor 1 school. Loye is known for his easy going attitude and his enthusiasm. If given a task, you can count on Loye to follow through. Loye's ability to stay calm in a crisis has been demonstrated on more than one occasion. |
Fire Fighter | |
 | Austin Moore Service: Less then one year The newest firefighter and is getting his training done right now. Also he is a new EMT. And we look forward to getting him involved at actual fire scenes. |
 | Brady Madden Brady has to be the closest firefighter to the station. He lives on the street directly behind our department, so he can get here fast! Brady has lots of experience with big trucks, so he's a natural for driving our bulky, balky tanker. You'd never think from his slow Southern drawl that Brady works weekends as an auctioneer! Brady has a heart of gold and often volunteers his auctioneer skills for charity events. |
 | Chad Slechta Chad is one of the quieter members of our department. He is dependable and can take on any job, usually with a smile. Chad is handy to have around due to his ability to work on anything from electrical problems to engines to construction. |

When home on the weekends, she responds on calls and keeps her hand in on the station's events. |
 | Kevin Goulet Kevin owns his own construction company in town. He's one our "go-getter" firemen and will jump into a bad fire or rescue with both feet. He's excellent at auto extrication. Kevin and Jim Cheever make up the heart of our rescue team on any bad car wreck. (see the picture's gallery) |

Safety Officer | |
 | Sandy Evans The title of "Safety Officer" really doesn't do justice to Sandy. Not only does she fulfill that role, she's a first responder, secretary, consultant, problem solver, and the right hand man, I mean assistant, to the fire chief. Sandy is Chief Evans wife and is a loyal supporter of anything to do with the department. Many suppers have grown cold while Billy and Sandy have attended to patients and made fire runs in the evening hours. |
