Wye /Little Italy Community Hosting Chili Dinner 11/11/2024

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!

Winter Season: Heating and Fireplace Safety

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!
