Your #Maumelle #firefighters hosted the first session of the @CityOfMaumelle CIVICS ACADEMY giving residents a close look at how your fire department operates. Attendees rode in Tower 2's 100' platform, tried on protective clothing & extinguished fires using fire extinguishers.

Due to increased fire danger, @PulaskiAR has issued a BURN BAN. Open burning in #Maumelle is prohibited. Your #firefighters ask that you use caution when disposing of smoking materials & when using barbecues and outdoor fireplaces.

Your Maumelle firefighters gathered to perform the most solemn & honorable duty as we laid our brother, FIREFIGHTER CALEB SACKHOFF, to rest. Though his time with us was far shorter than we wanted, he will live forever in the hearts of this department & in the house of the Lord.

Stash that bread & milk and then go find your water meter! Frozen pipes can burst & knowing where your meter is makes a quick shutoff easier (even in snow). Need help shutting off burst pipes? For emergencies dial 911; non-emergencies dial (501) 851-1337 (Press 2).

Brrr! Half of all home heating fires occur in December, January & February. Be safe this winter! Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from a heat source & plug only one heat-producing appliance (like a space heater) into an outlet at a time. #NewProfilePic

As of 9:09 pm, Santa Claus was approaching Savannah, GA! Soon arrive in #Maumelle, where nine #firefighters are on sleigh watch duty ready to assist the big guy as he passes through Arkansas -- and, as always, ready to help our residents & guests, too. Merry Christmas!

Christmas saved! Quick work by your #Maumelle #firefighters stopped a delivery truck fire before it could spread to packages inside (and maybe some gifts?) this morning in Maumelle Valley Estates.

Your #Maumelle firefighters gathered on the White Oak overpass to pay tribute to Conway FD Asst. Chief Bill Keathley, who passed away following a battle with cancer. Services for Chief Keathley will be at 1 pm on Wed., Dec. 10, at the Antioch Baptist Church in Conway.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY! We hope #Thanksgiving Day has been wonderful for you & your family so far. Celebrate with the comfort that should things not go exactly as planned, your #Maumelle #firefighters are on duty & ready if you need us.

Veterans Day began 106 years ago today as Armistice Day to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. We thank our Maumelle veterans, including some of our own firefighters, who've protected the freedoms we enjoy as a result of their service.

Today... And every day.

Despite recent rainfall & lush vegetation, it seems the chance of fire isn't zero. Your #Maumelle #firefighters just cleared the scene of a burning tree on Crystal Hill Road.

#Maumelle & NLR #firefighters arrived to fire & smoke showing from a home on Crystal Hill Rd this afternoon. Following an aggressive attack, Tower 2's aerial was used to knock down heavy fire, which spread through the attic. One occupant & one firefighter suffered minor injuries.

🚩RED FLAG FRIDAY🚩 Another fire weather warning is in effect until 7 PM due to winds & low humidity, which can allow fires to spread rapidly. Open burning is banned & your #Maumelle firefighters ask that you use caution when using grills or discarding smoking materials. #ARwx

After more than three hours on scene of the St. Joseph's fire, your #Maumelle #firefighters returned home shortly after 9 pm. Maumelle Tower 2 was one of three aerial trucks utilized to help bring the large, wind-fed fire under control. #ARnews

#Maumelle #firefighters are on scene with the NLRFD for a fire at St Joseph's Center on Camp Robinson Rd. Crews are battling flames and winds due to persistent red flag conditions. #ARwx #ARnews

RED FLAG WARNING in effect until 7 PM! Strong winds & low relative humidity can allow a fire to spread rapidly. Open burning is banned throughout Pulaski County. Your #Maumelle firefighters ask that you use caution when using barbecues or discarding smoking materials.

Today, your #Maumelle firefighters responded for a small fire in the woods north of Ouachita Drive. With increased risk of wildfire, @PulaskiAR has issued a BURN BAN. Per city code, camp fires are not allowed. Fire pits & fireplaces must be enclosed or covered with mesh screen.

IT'S FREEZING IN #MAUMELLE! 🥶So, protect the FOUR Ps! Check on PEOPLE susceptible to extreme temperatures (such as elderly). Give PETS a warm place to sleep. Wrap exposed water PIPES (& let faucets drip) to prevent them from freezing. And cover PLANTS to prevent frost damage.

7:25 PM ROAD CONDITIONS -- Thanks to hard work of @CityOfMaumelle Public Works, #Maumelle Blvd & Odom are in pretty good shape. Side streets remain covered in snow or slush, so use this as an excuse to stay home & warm! 😉 If you absolutely MUST get out, take it slow & easy!
