Are You Ready for a fire?

Do you have a fire extinguisher for you home? Do you know how to use it for fast and effective fire suppression? It really isn’t too difficult but there are a few steps to follow when using the right extinguisher for the type of material that is burning. Here are some pics from a recent training where we always emphasize extinguishment using a sweeping motion at the base of the fire. Stay safe, y’all.

WPFD Fire Rating Will Change to ISO Class 4 on FEbruary 1, 2019!

West Pulaski Fire Department is pleased to announce that our ISO Public Protection Rating will change from an ISO Class 5/6 to an ISO Class 4 for all property owners living 5 road miles from a WPFD fire station, beginning February 1, 2019. 

WPFD continues to improve our services and has invested in equipment, training, and capabilities to serve our communities better. We are proud of this improved rating and we will work harder to continue improvements that get us to an even better future rating.

ISO Class Ratings

  • Class 4 –  Will apply for any property owners that live within 5 road miles of a WPFD fire station.
  • Class 10– For property owners that live greater than 5 road miles of a WPFD fire station the ISO assigns still assigns a fire protection class of 10.

WPFD encourages you to contact your insurance provider or the Insurance Services Office about how this rating impacts your insurance coverage and costs. A decrease (which is an improvement) can lead to a decrease in insurance premiums if your insurance company uses the ISO PPC in their rating formula.

Dane Roset, EOW 1/18/19

It is with deep regret and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Daniel “Dane” Roset, FF #432 from Station 2.  Dane was tragically killed in a vehicle accident.
Dane was an active member of the West Pulaski Fire Department for 1 year and 3 months.  He was a certified firefighter and held the Emergency Medical Responder certification.  He was known as a guy who would work hard and not stop until the job was done.
Please keeping Dane’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
Thank you,

Chief Scott Joblin
