The Pea Ridge Fire Department received a utility task vehicle recently from the Pea Ridge National Military Park, according to Fire Chief Jack Wassman, who told City Council members that the park provides about 90% of the department's "wild-land gear" -- helmets, chain saws. "We get those through a rural grant through the military park," Wassman said, as he introduced park superintendent Kevin Eads, biologist Nolan Moore and acting superintendent Laura Rich Acosta. "I'm working on a five-year strategic plan and the UTV will be good for us to use for possible trails coming through town, as a litter if there's an incident in a heavily wooded area," Wassman said. "Thank you to them, it's a great asset for the fire department." Moore said he's grateful for Wassman and the fire department.
