WPFD would like to announce that Training Capt. Scott Joblin has been promoted to Department Fire Chief effective 1/01/2019. We welcome Chief Joblin to the senior fire officer role.

Message from Chief Scott Joblin:

All,

I am excited about the opportunities laying before the West Pulaski Fire Department in 2019. Outgoing Chief Ronnie Wheeler and the members of the Board of Directors have positioned the Department to succeed.

Join me in thanking Chief Wheeler, now retired, for his tireless work and effort as he led the Department for the past 14+ years. We were blessed to have his leadership and are grateful for his continued support in the operation of the Department.

As the incoming Fire Chief, I will support the forward movement of the West Pulaski Fire Department. As a Department, we will meet the challenges presented to us and provide the service the citizens in our community expect and deserve.

If you have questions or need information, please feel free to contact me through our business office:
Phone: (501)821-9320
E-Mail: wpfd@sbcglobal.net

Thank you for your continued support of the West Pulaski Fire Department!

Sincerely,
Scott Joblin, Fire Chief

Watch Out For Snakes

Snake story. WPFD got a mention in this news report due to our Facebook post from the weekend about 2 snake bites last week. Watch this and don’t forget to vote in our FB poll about what YOU do to keep snakes away from your living spaces. We want to know!

Don’t get bit!

WPFD has responded to 2 snake bite calls this week. Apparently the snakes are in a mood to bite and the folks in our fire district seem to be good targets.

So, what do you do to keep snakes away from your living space? Do you just clear brush? Do you have a chemical pesticide or treatment? Vote on your remedy that works for you. If you don’t see your solution listed then tell us about it in the comments.

BY THE WAY, WATCH OUT FOR SNAKES!
