NLR to open new Blaze Fire Station 11
2024-09-26 11:00 - 11:30 | NLR Fire Station 11, 1000 Blaze Drive, North Little Rock, AR, 72117, United States
The City of North Little Rock will hold a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 26, 2024. The new fire station at 1000 Blaze Drive in North Little Rock is a 7,600 square foot structure located off Arkansas Highway 165 and will serve residents and businesses in the east part of North Little Rock. The site was selected because it will provide quick access to Highways 165 and 391 as well as U.S. Interstate 440 which will enable the North Little Rock Fire Department to quickly respond to all parts of Ward 2. The station is an upgrade from 2,000 square foot house that had a detached engine bay. The new, more efficient, modern two-bay fire station with allow room to grow as the east part of our city continues to develop. One engine and three firefighters will occupy the new station with plans of adding an aerial truck in the future. The new station includes: five bedrooms, watch office, ready room, kitchen, dining area, two pull-through apparatus bays, decontamination corridor, safe room, and gym. The modern industrial design of the new station matches its location and will help encourage further commercial and residential growth in Ward 2. The total cost of the new station is $4.9 million and was funded by the half cent sales tax approved by North Little Rock voters. Bunny Brown with Jackson Brown and Palculict Architects designed the station and CBM Construction was the construction manager.

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Ceremony
2024-12-07 11:58 - 12:30 | Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum, 120 Riverfront Park Drive, North Little Rock, Arkansas, 72114, United States
The Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum invites you to our Pearl Harbor Ceremony on December 7, 2024. In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved to The River House just east of our parking lot inside the sea-wall. The event is free and open to the public. Remarks from CDR Sterling D. “Rooster Claypoole, USNR and NLR Mayor Terry C. Hartwick.

On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we honor the memories of the 2,403 service members and civilians whose lives were cut short on that tragic December morning. We reflect on the resilience of America’s Armed Forces, who withstood the attack and built the most capable fighting force the world has ever known. In the wake of tragedy, these brave women and men — the Greatest Generation — answered the call to defend freedom, justice, and democracy across the Pacific, throughout Europe, and around the globe. Today, we carry forward their spirit of unity and their enduring resolve to protect the United States against those who seek to do us harm.

This commemoration is also a solemn reminder that our country is capable of achieving great triumphs coming out of dark moments. From the death and destruction at Pearl Harbor came victory over the forces of fascism. Fierce battles with the Axis powers gave way to diplomatic partnerships with strong allies. And from the darkness of World War II came the light of liberty and the establishment of a rules-based international order. Today and every day, we remember that the great and defining truth about our Nation and our people is that there is nothing beyond our capacity — we do not break, we never give in, and we never back down.
