Become A Named Sponsor For West Pulaski Fire Department’s New Fire Station

WPFD actively pursuing named sponsors for our new fire station planned on Brush Mountain Trail in the western part of our fire district.

We have already broken ground on the soil and will be ready to start building as soon as possible. Like any volunteer organization, we have funds to start but need funds and need to finish.

With the building land and building pad ready, we hope to get our formal bids soon and start the work that will serve a community with better fire and rescue services with fire equipment that is positioned more closely for the fastest response in an emergency.

This is where you can help. We are accepting donations from anyone in the community that wants to help us get this project finished fast in 2022. By donating, you not only help us reach our goal to construct more quickly but can help us get it occupied with trucks that can be placed in the building sooner when the facility is ready.

West Pulaski Fire Department is a 501(c)3 non-profit and your tax-deductible donation can show you support for our fire department, community, residents, and businesses in this area. We will display your name on our sponsor board at the job site for the duration of construction through occupancy, and then add your name to the new station’s charter sponsors for display in the station.

Please consider committing yourself or your business as a sponsor to our project and showing the community that you care! Thank you!

Halloween Carnival Fun

WPFD had a great time as several holiday events over the Halloween season. Schools and churches had some fantastic trunk or treat events that allowed kids and families to sport great costumes and themes. Here are a few pics!

Outdoor Burning Not Recommended

For now and this weekend, outdoor burning is not recommended. Cover your burn pile with a tarp and save it for our next rainy day if you can. Small fires turn to big ones quickly when the temps are high and the wind is unpredictable.

Before you burn anything, make sure it is the right time and conditions permit proper control. It also helps to know the law and your responsibilities to maintain control of your fire. Here is some info from Arkansas Forestry Division.

Groundbreaking for our New Fire Station

We had a great day with the groundbreaking of our new fire station planned at 3006 Brush Mountain Trail. Thank you to all our friends, neighbors, and honored guests for joining us.

This new station location will be located west of Ferndale in an area near Brush Mountain Trail that is south of Kanis Road/12th Street at the Pulaski County/Saline County line. Placing equipment closer to this western area of our fire district will improve our capabilities with nearby apparatus (fire trucks and equipment) to better serve the 240+ homes and an estimated 750+ residents in the area. Also, this will enable Insurance Services Office recognition of our Class 4 Public Protection Class for improved rates for insurance premiums once we open this facility and place trucks for use.

The soil is now considered turned but we have still much work to do. Contact us if you want to help us complete our project sooner and to get this new station in service as quickly as possible. To support WPFD and the faster completion of this project with your tax-deductible contribution to your volunteer fire department.
