Each day we respond to emergency calls we are faced with the challenge of finding our dispatched address quickly. For each properly marked address, there are many more that are so difficult to read or are not marked at all.

Help us find you Fast so we can help you Fast. These large, red, reflective address signs have become the standard for best address markings in our fire district. They stand out well at a distance, are visible from both directions of approach and can be seen better in all weather, even in the torrential rainstorms we have had recently.

Please make a point to get GREAT address markings on your mailbox/post or driveway leading to your home. Good address numbers help get us to your door. Great address numbers get us there faster. Help get us to you or further down the road with this fantastic marking for your location.

Call our 911 Address Ambassador Marcella Grimmett at 501-912-4211 to get this custom-made sign for $15. Get one for you and make sure your neighbors have one too so we can find them. The price is right if they need a gift that keeps on giving.

Thanks!

The Wye Mountain/Little Italy communities are hosting a Chili Supper to raise money benefiting West Pulaski Fire Department’s Station #4. This was a fantastic dinner last year and it will even better this year as it has some great chili chefs and a silent auction with fantastic items to bid. One of the big items at the event will be a raffle drawing of a handcrafted guitar.

Make plans to come by Wye Mountain Baptist Church at 36006 AR Hwy 300, Bigelow, AR, on Monday, November 11 from 5:30-7:30 for some great food and visit with our firefighters. It will be a great time and we hope to see you there!

Each fall and winter season, WPFD responds to several emergency calls and home fires involving fireplaces, chimneys and home heaters. The use of combustible fuel inside a home is a traditional and effective way to battle freezing temperatures. Not only does a fireplace or wood stove feel great on a chilly night, it also take some of the pressure of your home heating system by reducing the dependence on costly electric or propane/natural gas heating units; However, using an alternative heating source comes with some big responsibilities to ensure that they are properly maintained and operating in a safe manner.  Keeping your fireplace, wood stove, pellet stove, and chimney/stovepipe clean is of the highest importance.  Failure to get your homes fire fueled heat system inspected and cleaned each year can lead to prevent potential leaks of fire, smoke, and harmful gases from the exhaust system (vent or chimney) into the home or attic causing dangerous conditions. Don’t risk fire, loss of your home, or death from carbon-monoxide leaks. Get your system inspected and cleaned to ensure your home is ready for a full cold season of safe heating!
