Many fire crews are staying busy in this dry heat , but volunteer firefighters are working doubletime.
According to Pulaski County Emergency Manager Andy Traffanstedt there are 18 volunteer fire departments in Pulaski County alone. Manned by 375 volunteers that leave their jobs at a moment's notice to fight fire in this brutal, dry heat.
Small, rural departments say they can handle the occasional fire, but now they're getting called out several times a day. And with work, families, and other committments volunteers say they're getting stretched thin.
If you'd like to help, you can drop off a case of bottled water at any volunteer fire department
