EL DORADO, AR – Arkansas’ Junior U.S. Senator, Tom Cotton (R-Russellville) made a quick stop in Union County this morning, stopping at the Lawson Volunteer Fire Department and personally thanking the first responders whose quick and tireless work, extinguished the Pine Tree Road Wildfire. The fire, which has been recorded as the largest in the State of Arkansas in more than 60 years, devoured nearly 2,300 acres of woodlands. “Not a single Arkansan lost their life, not one single home fell to the ground either.” Cotton said, in his statement to the crowd on hand for the private ceremony. Cotton also said the miraculous statistics were not just an answer to prayer but a testament to the leadership of local officials and the courage of the first responders.

In addition to the first responders and county officials, Senator Cotton took a moment to thank the congregation of Lawson Baptist Church and their pastor, Don Travis. He thanked them collectively for, “aiding in the response efforts by offering up their facilities for all of you who were fighting the fire.” For the full speech, you can see the video attached to this story.

After the speech, the ceremonies moved inside where the Senator then handed official recognition awards to those parties he had previously thanked.

Award being given to Pro Med Ambulance

Award given to Union County Office of Emergency Management Coordinator Bruce Goff

Union County Judge Mike Loftin accepted recognition on behalf of the Union County Road Crews and a second award made by the Senator to the County Judge for his efforts in leading and coordinating the response
