Lake Norrell Area Fire Protection District

We hope to partner with @GoGreenwayEquip @FarmBureau Arkansas, and others to make this happen.

Currently, we are working with the Saline County Firefighters Association, @SalineCountyOEM, and other agencies to bring @FarmMedic @FarmMedicine to @SalineCountyAR. Some of our FF have served as aux-instructors for this course many times and we hope it enhances what we do.

In addition to fire and emergency medical services (EMS), we have personnel who are certified, trained, or licensed in specialized fields, such as hazardous material, weapons of mass destruction, structure collapse and rescue, water rescue, vehicle rescue, and farm rescue.

At LNAFPD, we have provided these services for many decades, primarily because it is challenging to reach homes during severe weather and other times due to geography. As such, we work to identify ways to ensure residents are good no matter the distance.

Thus, we have been required to adapt to provide the best fire and emergency services possible at the BLS level. We do have paramedics, but the service is only licensed at the BLS level. In the future, we hope to continue the advance providing a higher level of service.

The long roads, all developed years ago for horses, wagons, and logging, instead of modern motor vehicles, means while we are now part of suburbia, you cannot get here from there quickly.

Technological advances from professionals in medicine, such as Dr. @BMorshediMD and our local EMS provider @PaffordEMS using telemedicine via tablet and phone are making a difference. We are unique in while you can see us, it takes a long time to get here by ground.

Community paramedicine continues to grow and is making a huge impact. For many years, local fire and rescue agencies at the BLS level have provided home health checks, delivered medications in severe weather, and connected with physicians and providers remotely.

Thankful for Senator Kim Hammer for serving as the speaker at our holiday gathering for family celebrating friends and family. It is often challenging for them to understand what we do and Kim offered a great overview of the work and mission. Thank you, Senator! @SarahHuckabee

For the first time since early January, it appears no one was shot on a Friday night in the City of Little Rock. #ARNews

@AirMethodsCorp @LifeNetEMS Air 2 made the first “official” landing on our new helipad. A huge thank you to the leadership and commissioners of @ArkansasAero for making this possible. @AsaHutchinson @AndreaLeaAOS @SCSOArkansas @AgWriterArk @SkotWx

Water line ruptured leaving 50% of the @LakeNorrellFire community without water. The Public Water Authority has temporarily fixed the line but hydrants cannot be used should a fire occur. Water will be shuttled if needed. The public has been asked not to burn.

Never know how the day will go.

@MissAshes92 @Ronnieforsyth6 @kb5zzk Thank you. We are happy to be here.
