Today was a good day! WPFD was dispatched for a missing juvenile and the response of several coordinated agencies (and some helpful neighbors) helped us find the missing person and return them to their family unharmed. Thanks to Pulaski County Sheriff deputies , Arkansas Game and Fish, and Arkansas State Police for the help!

We are happy to announce our next apparatus Tanker 22 is officially in service at Station 2 in Ferndale. This is a long-term project to bring another donated military truck chassis to serve our communities in it’s next life as a fire truck. This Freightliner can deliver about 2,600 gallons of water to fire locations in areas without fire hydrants or enough water supply to support fire operations. We are happy to have this truck in service now as current Tanker 2 gets some minor refurbishing.

We are planning a new Fire Station in the western part of Ferndale. Thanks to great partnerships with local businesses and organizations in our area we can do great things. Recently we officially secured a donation of land that will allow us to construct a building on the Pulaski County/Saline County line just off Brush Mountain Trail near Deer Drive. This is a strategic acquisition with the goal to lower the insurance fire rating (ISO PPC) for residents further than 5 miles from the current Ferndale station. The result could mean lower homeowners’ insurance costs. We will be starting a capital campaign soon to raise funds for the construction of the new building and we hope we can count on you for financial support. Please note that the current station on Kanis is not being moved, only another station (Station 6) is being added to supplement the area. A really big THANK YOU goes out to our friends and partners at Green Bay Paper Company for generously donating the land that will support their neighbors well in this area!
