🎉 Congratulations and Welcome, Chief Patrick Loflin! We’re proud to officially welcome Patrick Loflin as the new Assistant Fire Chief for the Town of Arlington!
Chief Loflin joined the Arlington Fire Department in May and was formally sworn in at Monday night’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting. With 26 years of service at the Memphis Fire Department, his experience and leadership will be a great asset to our community.
As an Arlington resident, this new role brings Chief Loflin closer to home. His extended family joined us Monday to celebrate this exciting next chapter.
Please join us in welcoming Chief Loflin to the Arlington Fire family—we’re excited for what’s ahead!
📚 Storytime with a Side of Sirens! 📚 This morning, AFD made a special stop at the Forrest Street Pavilion to join in on story time with local author Becky Thomas !
Mrs. Thomas was there promoting her delightful children’s book series starring Roscoe the Rooster — a bossy barnyard bird with plenty of personality. The crew loved being part of this story time, and we think Roscoe might have a new fan base in the firehouse now!
Big thanks to the Arlington Library for hosting this fun event and to Becky for sharing her stories with the community. Check out a few photos of the crew hanging out with the kids, the author, and of course, Roscoe!

Crews will then move to Airline Road to patch several spots between Memphis-Arlington and Will Harris Road. (All work is weather dependent)
These roads are both key connectors in our community, so be prepared for traffic impacts during this time. Impacts will include lane shifts & traffic control measures, but no full closures.
Always stay alert and use extra caution in work zones. Remember: this may be a temporary inconvenience for you, but it's a workplace for someone else. Let’s help keep everyone safe!
🚨 Storm Update for Arlington 🚨 Severe storms have moved through Arlington, causing damage to the Tornado Safe Room’s exterior and downing several trees around town. The Safe Room remains structurally secure with no interior damage. The roof that was lost was a secondary, aesthetic cover only.
