GRASS FIRE UPDATE | HIGHWAY 300

Lake Maumelle Fire Department, along with West Pulaski Fire Department and the Arkansas Forestry Commission, responded to a large grass fire in the 19,000 block of Highway 300.

According to the Arkansas Forestry Commission, approximately 26 acres were involved.

The fire has been brought under control, and thanks to the hard work of crews on scene, a fire line has been cut completely around the affected area, creating a clear firebreak and containing the fire.

Residents and motorists should be aware that smoke will likely remain visible in the area. Material inside the fire line will continue to burn and smolder, and at times the amount of smoke may look concerning. However, what you are seeing is burning inside the established fire line.

Crews will continue to monitor conditions as needed.

Thank you to West Pulaski Fire Department and the Arkansas Forestry Commission for their assistance and hard work in getting this fire contained.

Lake Maumelle Fire Department hosted an Introduction & PPE class today, bringing together our members along with firefighters from West Pulaski Fire Department (Little Rock, Arkansas) www.wpfirerescue.org, Arch Street Fire Department, and Bigelow Volunteer Fire Department.

It was a full day of learning the fundamentals, getting hands-on with PPE, and building the skills every firefighter needs from day one.

But the fire service has a funny way of interrupting the lesson plan.

In between class sessions, our crews (and the class) got an unexpected “field trip” to Pinnacle Mountain for a report of a hiker down. Then it was right back to training.

We’ll finish up the class tomorrow, but for the chiefs and officers waiting for these firefighters to return to their home stations and districts, just know this:

They weren’t messing around today. They worked hard, represented their departments well, and did a great job in more ways than one.

Great first day. See everybody back tomorrow!

DON’T LET THE RAIN FOOL YOU — THE BURN BAN IS STILL IN EFFECT

Yes, we’ve gotten some much-needed rain. But a little rain doesn’t erase weeks of hot, dry conditions.

Rain can wet the grass and leaves on the surface while the dead vegetation, pine straw, leaf litter and other fuels underneath remain extremely dry. Once the sun and wind return, that thin layer of moisture can disappear quickly, leaving plenty of fuel capable of carrying a fire.

We’ve already seen how easily fires can start even after rainfall.

Pulaski County remains under a BURN BAN, and fire danger remains HIGH.

And remember: the rain doesn’t cancel the burn ban. It remains in effect until officials officially lift it.

Please continue to avoid outdoor burning and anything that could create an unnecessary spark or flame.

Wet on top doesn’t always mean wet underneath.

Stay safe, and don’t let a little rain give you a false sense of security.

A few of our Lake Maumelle firefighters volunteered in a little different way today.

There’s more than one way to serve your community, and being a volunteer firefighter isn’t always about fighting fires, spraying water, or responding when the tones drop.

Today, Scott, Harry and Ben gave their time to help out at the Roland Crisis Closet, an organization right here at home that provides food and other essential items to individuals and families in our community who may be facing food insecurity or simply need a helping hand.

For us, volunteering means showing up wherever our community needs us.

We’re proud of these guys for pitching in, giving their time, and doing their part to take care of the same community they serve every day.

Service comes in a lot of different forms. Today, it just didn’t require a fire truck. And that’s a good thing!

PULASKI COUNTY BURN BAN IN EFFECT

A countywide burn ban has been issued for Pulaski County.
There's a lot that goes into that decision: dry conditions, wind, fuel moisture, and overall fire risk. Right now, those factors are lining up in a way that makes any outdoor burning unsafe.
This burn ban expands that restriction across the entire county for one reason: everyone's safety.
It doesn't take much. A small fire can get out of hand quickly under these conditions, putting homes, property, and lives at risk.
Please help us spread the word.
Let's keep Pulaski County safe.

Public Service Announcement from Lake Maumelle Fire Department

If you’ve noticed the ball field and playground looking a little more “natural” than usual lately, we promise we haven’t forgotten about them!

Our mower is currently out of service and awaiting repairs, which has temporarily put our landscaping ambitions on hold. The good news is that we should be back in business very soon and will get everything cleaned up as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, we’d like to give a special thank you to Aaron for taking care of the walking path, playground area and helping keep it looking great while we wait on repairs.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. Hopefully our mower will be back on the job soon and the grass will stop trying to become a wildlife refuge.

This afternoon, Lake Maumelle Fire volunteers and on-duty staff responded to Pinnacle Mountain for a reported hiker in distress.

Our firefighters, MEMS, volunteer hikers and State Park staff worked together to safely locate and carry the patient down the mountain for medical care and treatment.

A great example of teamwork between fire, EMS,park personnel and just fantastic folks that care and want to help. Thanks to all that took time to lend a hand. Sometimes it just takes a village!

Burn Ban Lifted / Burn Smart

Before you strike a match, just a quick reminder, this doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all. Conditions can still change quickly, and it doesn’t take much for a small fire to get out of hand.

Even with recent rain, dry vegetation can still sit just beneath the surface, and a little wind and sunshine can dry things out fast.

Also worth noting:
Burning trash, garbage, or any type of waste is never permitted under Arkansas law.
Outdoor burning should only involve natural yard debris like leaves, limbs, and brush.

If you plan to burn, keep a few things in mind:
• Check the weather, avoid windy days
• Keep it small and manageable
• Have a water source ready
• Never leave it unattended
• Make sure it’s fully out before walking away

We want everyone to take advantage of the lifted restrictions safely and avoid unnecessary calls and preventable fires.

If something doesn’t look right or gets out of control, don’t hesitate to call 911. We’re here for you!

From your Lake Maumelle Fire Department

🚫 Burn Ban Still in Effect / Pulaski County 🚫

For those of you wondering, Pulaski County is still under a burn ban.

Yes, we’ve had some rain, but it hasn’t been enough to make conditions safe for outdoor burning.

Here’s why
• Ground fuels are still dry underneath. The top layer may look damp, but it doesn’t take much for fire to take hold.
• Low humidity + wind can quickly dry things back out, sometimes within hours.
• Dead grass, leaves, and brush ignite easily and spread fast.
• Control becomes difficult quickly, especially in open areas.

Even after rainfall, it doesn’t take much for things to turn dangerous again. As soon as things change, we will share the news as quickly as possible. Until then, be patient and
be safe.
