Garrison Road is blocked at Neal Creek due to at tree and powerlines down in the roadway. We are waiting on Entergy to arrive.

Please detour.

WPFD will be conducting some training over the next several weeks at the old Martindale Baptist Church parsonage. The little white house in front of the gymnasium. Some of our crews will be operating in the east side of the parking lot between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

This is a planned training event at a location we will use for a couple months. We want you to know that there is no emergency at the church. Just be aware we are working in this area, drive safe.

If you stop to watch, please don’t block traffic or our operation. Stay in the parking lot and remain at a safe distance for safety.

Summertime is almost here and we know folks want to get their pool open soon! We do not want to be a negative nelly but this is the time we start getting calls about pool filling.

Unfortunately, most fire departments DO NOT fill swimming pools, us included. We have limits to what we can do and our liability insurance is not intended to cover possible damage to your property, pool deck, pool liner, equipment, or injuries that might occur on this type of request.

We love ya, we really do, but unless your pool is on fire we can’t really bring water to it. (disclaimer, please don’t set your pool on fire, that just doesn’t make sense). Besides, the water we use for fires and training is not intended for us to distribute for such an activity and the water that flows through our trucks gets dirty sometimes. You really do not want a pool full of something that looks like it was poured from a coffee cup at Starbucks.

We hope you have a fantastic summer and enjoy your pool with friends and family. Have a Safe Summer!
