Thanks to our first responders, Public Services, Parks & Recreation, and all other POA staffers who kept our facilities safe and gave extra effort to respond to members’ needs.

“The firefighters did extremely well in the planning and preparation for the recent winter weather. These men strive to be successful in all they do and it showed in the past days. We have a good team that selflessly gives its all to Hot Springs Village and its members.  Thank you to all the Fire Department staff. Job Well Done!” — Jason Miller, Fire Chief, Hot Springs Village
