Where Are We?
NorthStar EMS serves White County and a portion of Cleburne County, Arkansas. Ambulance
stations are located in Beebe, Heber Springs, Bald Knob, Quitman and three locations in
Searcy. Although the service in each county operates as separate units, they are able to
provide backup service to one another as a regional unit.
The Searcy service operates under a non-exclusive franchise awarded by the City of Searcy.
Along with the main station, a sub-station is located on the West end of the city to reduce
response times in Western Searcy and White County. An additional sub-station has since
been added at the South Campus of White County Medical Center, to better serve the city, as
well as to provide rapid response to the patients at the WCMC South Campus.
The Beebe unit was originally based in the Beebe Fire Department, Main Station. In March
2006, we built a new station at 808 McAfee Medical Circle that houses a crew, their primary
ambulance, and a back up ambulance. By having a station in Beebe, response times in the
Southern part of White County are reduced by 15-30 minutes.
In Heber Springs, NorthStar EMS operates under an exclusive franchise with the city. This
service also provides coverage for portions of Cleburne County that are not served by
volunteer ambulance services. Mutual aid is provided to the volunteer services when doing so
does not compromise service in our primary response area.
In Bald Knob, we currently station a unit in the former Bald Knob Volunteer Ambulance
Building. This station was opened in early 2015 in cooperation with the City of Bald Knob
when their volunteer EMS decided to become a First Responder service only. It has been a
great benefit to the City of Bald Knob and the northern part of White County.
In September 2015, an Advanced Life Support unit was placed in the City of Quitman to
service the City, as well as the Quitman Fire District in Cleburne County. Beginning in early
April of 2016, that service will be extended to the Faulkner County portion of the Quitman Fire
District as well, in cooperation with MEMS and Faulkner County OEM. We are stationed in the
former Quitman Volunteer EMS Station, adjoining the City Library.
