It has been one year since a devastating storm brought a tornado to our fire district. WPFD responded to the destruction and injured in four major impact areas between the Saline/Pulaski County line near Brush Mountain Trail and Arkansas Highway 10.  This storm changed the lives of many, including our fire department folks, discount in the way we think about a major storm response and how we prepare for it, for sale while hoping we never have something so tragic in our service area again.

Attention Station #5!

WPFD is nearing operations for our new fire station located at the corner of Pinnacle Valley and Beck Roads. So much work and fundraising has made this new station possible. We truly look forward to this new addition to our WPFD family. Here are some pictures of the progress made over the past few months of construction that will help us better serve this northeast corner of our fire district for many years to come.

We hope to make an announcement soon about our plans for our grand opening!
