WPFD Firefighters were dispatched for an emergency patient extraction from a heavily wooded timber area recently.  Responders coordinated efforts with MEMS Ambulance, thumb Baptist Med-flight, Arkansas Game and Fish Officers, Saline and Pulaski County Sheriff offices to access extremely remote area within timber property to mobilize and extract the patient to a hilltop landing zone for emergency medical airlift to a hospital.

West Pulaski Fire Department responds to all emergency situations in our fire district area.  At the time you dial 911 for emergency assistance,  all necessary local (and sometimes state agencies) will be summoned as needed to begin the response, no matter what the call may be.

WPFD firefighters, treat with the help of LRFD  Rescue 2,  LRFD Engine 21, and MEMS worked to extricate a fallen climber from Shinall Mountain that  suffered a broken ankle after falling 30 feet from a cliff area.  See the story below reported by KATV.

At the West Pulaski Annual Christmas Dinner, treat held December 12th, help we all took a small break from the training, maintenance, and fire hoses as our firefighters and their families were able to sit down to celebrate the holiday season.

WPFD had a lot of activity this year.  Running a large volunteer organization like ours with multiple facilities is a substantial task considering your entire workforce is unpaid.  We could not function without the tireless efforts of all of our dedicated firefighters that are compensated only with the satisfaction of serving the public need and responding for our neighbors and brother/sister firefighters. Additionally, we wanted to recognize some individuals that went above and beyond in service to our organization. See the awards presented below. (more pictures will be posted later)

We truly hope for less emergency calls in the new year, but assure you we will be ready should you need us.  Best wishes to you and your loved ones from the WPFD family.
