Here is your this week!

🔥 Smoke detectors don’t just make noise — they save lives.

Most home fire deaths happen in places without working smoke alarms, and the difference between escape and tragedy can be just a few seconds.

Here’s how to make sure your detectors are ready when it matters most:
🔸 Install detectors in every bedroom, hallway, and living area.
Fire and smoke spread fast, and you need early warning no matter where you are in the house.
🔸 Test your detectors every month.
A quick button press ensures the device is working and the sound is loud enough to wake everyone.
🔸 Change the batteries twice a year.
A simple habit — like swapping batteries when you change your clocks — keeps detectors reliable year-round.
🔸 Replace detectors every 10 years.
Smoke detectors wear out over time. If yours is older than a decade, it’s time for a new one.

Early warning leads to early escape, and early escape saves lives.
Let’s keep our homes and families safe — one working smoke detector at a time.

When an emergency strikes, stress can make the simplest things difficult. Like searching for an appropriate phone number. This is why we would like to share this emergency contact info. Keep this handy, or better yet, save these as contacts in your mobile phone. The more resources you have, the better prepared you are!

We would like to send out to a special thank you to the Holiday Island Fire Department, Berryville Fire Department, and Arkansas Forestry Division for their assistance in providing apparatus and manpower yesterday evening to a wildland fire on County Road 323! With their help, we were able to confine the fire and prevent further property damage/loss.

CARROLL COUNTY IS UNDER A BURN BAN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

We have a water main break at the West Van Buren (Hwy 62) intersection with Glenn Avenue/Oil Springs Road. There is water in the roadway that could freeze and cause traffic issues.

We are in contact with Arkansas Department of Transportation and are trying to borrow temporary signal lights to put traffic in a head to head pattern. We are awaiting a call back from them.

With the recent snow event, we are all short staffed due to 24 hour personnel rotations. ArDOT is short staff and its taking a little longer than usual to get an answer from them. Just know that we are doing what we can and will be working on the issue as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please call us at (479) 253-9600.

Thanks,

Simon - Director of Public Works
