A little over a month ago a small group of instructors began a State Certified Firefighter training program for new recruits from Brooklyn Volunteer Fire Department, Harrison Township Fire Department, Paragon Volunteer Fire Company, Brown Twp Fire-Rescue, and one of our volunteers. Over this past weekend these students were introduced to performing searches in a structure wearing their full firefighting ensemble and air packs. They were allowed to go through our training “maze” with basic gear on first and the course was made progressively harder. First, by removing all light from the maze and then introducing simulated smoke. Our students spent an entire day training on these skills.

The State program is very rigorous and includes every basic skill that’s required to be an Indiana certified firefighter. Students start out with basic skills like putting on all their personal protective equipment on correctly and over roughly the next 6 months they build on each skill they learn. It requires hours of study in their text book, online training programs, and over 100 skills they must be able to successfully perform. Along the way the students take several written exams as well.

It’s important to note that none of these students are being paid to participate in this program and all the instructors are volunteering their time. Later this year Morgan County will have 17 brand new firefighters all taught right here in Morgan County!! ... See MoreSee Less

Praying for all there needs to be a stop and go light at 144 & Mann Rd. Not a flashlight light

Whether this wreck was at that intersection or not, it makes sense that a stop light should be there. Sometimes they are needed just to slow people down.

Prayers for all the folks involved and first responders and everyone’s Families.❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 They really need too put in a light there. There’s been way too many accidents in that area!!😢😢😢

Wow there's absolutely hardly nothing left of that car.Prayers yo all

Yes a stop light is needed there but the only bad thing about having a stop light there is a semi heading to Mooresville would have trouble going up that hill from a dead stop at that intersection. If they were to put a light there they would have to either elevate 144 further down or reduce the incline angle going up the hill.

Prayers for all. Still was closed when I came home at 5. Someone said fuel in creek

Prayers for all! Thank you fire fighters
