🕯️ CARRY THE LIGHT | FIRST RESPONDER SU***DE PREVENTION DAY

Last night, first responders, families, community members and local leaders gathered on the Saline County Courthouse lawn for Carry the Light, an evening of remembrance, hope and support for the men and women who dedicate their lives to helping others.

A special thank you to Serena Krone for organizing this meaningful event. For Serena, September 1 carries a deeply personal significance. Her sister, Brittany Wildhaber, a volunteer firefighter and EMT, died by su***de on September 1, 2017. Serena has worked to transform that painful anniversary into an opportunity to remember those we have lost while reminding the first responders who are still here that they never have to carry the weight of the job alone.

During the ceremony, Saline County Judge Matt Brumley presented a proclamation, alongside the Saline County Quorum Court, officially recognizing September 1, 2026, as National First Responder Su***de Prevention Day in Saline County. The proclamation calls on our community to support su***de prevention efforts, advocate for mental health resources for first responders and help foster a culture where seeking help is recognized as a sign of strength.

The evening concluded with the symbolic Carry the Light candle observance—honoring the first responders we have lost and standing in solidarity with those who may be facing struggles that often go unseen.

Remember those we’ve lost. Support those who are here. Carry the Light. 🕯️

🏛️ BEFORE & AFTER: Phase II Complete!

Phase II of the Saline County Courthouse Historic Preservation Project is officially complete!

This phase focused on waterproofing and protecting the original 1902 courthouse. After 124 years, the mortar, expansion and stone joints, and window sealant had significantly deteriorated.

Over the past several months, contractors with Frontier Waterproofing, Inc. removed ALL of the existing mortar from the original courthouse and replaced it with custom color-matched mortar. Expansion and stone joints were repaired, window sealant was replaced, and a water-repellent treatment was applied to the historic brick — allowing water to bead up and roll off rather than soak into the masonry.

Phase II follows last year's Phase I improvements, which included a new roof, exterior trim repairs and painting, and a soft wash of the entire building. Next up is Phase III, which will focus on waterproofing the Courthouse Annex.

Across all three phases, the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program (AHPP) has invested more than $483,000, with Saline County providing more than $170,000 in matching funds — a total investment of more than $653,000 in preserving our historic courthouse.

We are to protect the crown jewel of Saline County and ensure it remains here for generations to come!

🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE 🚨

The Saline County Sheriff’s Office has been made aware of scam phone calls currently being made to residents of Saline County.
Callers are claiming that a “Deputy Robert Plyer” with the Saline County Sheriff’s Office is attempting to contact the person receiving the call. The caller states they are with the Civil Department and have “court-ordered litigation paperwork” that needs to be delivered.

The scammers are providing the following callback number:
📞 479-440-3073
⚠️ THIS IS A SCAM.

Please do not provide the caller with any personal, financial, or identifying information.

The Saline County Sheriff’s Office will NEVER call you and demand or request money over the phone.

Scammers often use official-sounding names, departments, court documents, warrants, or other legal terminology in an attempt to make the call sound legitimate and pressure you into responding.
If you receive a suspicious call claiming to be from the Saline County Sheriff’s Office, hang up and contact our office directly using an official phone number.

Please share this information with your family, friends, and especially those who may be more vulnerable to these types of scams.

Stay alert and don’t become a victim!

⚠️ SALINE COUNTY BURN BAN REMAINS IN EFFECT ⚠️

Saline County’s countywide burn ban will remain in effect until further notice.

We are constantly evaluating and reevaluating conditions across Saline County to determine when it will be safe to lift the burn ban. This includes ongoing communication with the Saline County Office of Emergency Management, National Weather Service, our Volunteer Fire Departments, and other local partners.

We are also closely monitoring the U.S. Drought Monitor, current fire conditions, recent rainfall, and the extended weather forecast.

After taking all of these factors into consideration, the decision has been made to KEEP THE BURN BAN IN PLACE at this time.

This decision is made with the safety of our residents and first responders in mind. Even with recent rainfall in portions of the county, dry conditions and the potential for fire remain a concern.

While the burn ban remains in effect:

• DO NOT burn leaves, brush, debris, or other materials
• Never leave grills or other open flames unattended
• Properly dispose of ci******es
• Avoid parking vehicles on dry grass
• Be alert for smoke or signs of fire
• Report fires or burning activity immediately to the appropriate authorities

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we continue to evaluate conditions daily.

Please help us spread the word: SALINE COUNTY REMAINS UNDER A BURN BAN.

We will continue to provide updates and will announce as soon as conditions allow the burn ban to be safely lifted.
