Madison Township Fire Department shared North Palos Professional Firefighters Local #4323's post.

Very well said !!!Did you know? Firefighters work as a team and are a family for the 24 or 48 hours they are at work. They are also ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES! That's why you may see your firefighters at the grocery store next time you are there. One of our residents suggested that the fire district could solve some of their budget shortfalls by allowing only one firefighter go shopping in an SUV instead of the crews going in a fire engine. When an emergency occurs, each member of the team has predetermined tasks they complete in a specific order; that's what teams do. Did you ever think that just maybe the firefighters at a store may be CLOSER to an emergency? How would you feel if that single firefighter in an SUV was at the grocery store and you had an emergency a few blocks away? Would you want him or her there alone with just a portable radio or would you want a fully staffed, well-trained crew there with a fully equipped fire engine with all the latest life-saving equipment? I bet your answer is the latter. Firefighters pay for their own meals, a minimum of $10 per shift. With 13 firefighter/ paramedics on duty currently a day that's $130 a day that goes to support one our stores! Multiple that by 365 days and our firefighters provide over $47,000 in taxable revenue to our community annually, just by shopping at one of our businesses on-duty. For those same folks that are concerned about the firefighters at the grocery store, you may also see them at Home Depot from time to time. They aren't there doing Christmas shopping. They are probably there purchasing supplies for a project or repair that THEY are going to complete themselves to save you, the resident, the expense instead of calling in a repair company. The fire district looks at a trip to the store as a public education opportunity. Next time you see them at the store with your child feel free to come up and say hello. That firefighter will probably have a pocket full of stickers for your little one and even be willing to let them hop up in the driver's seat of the fire engine. Ask your child which they would rather see; the fire engine or the fire SUV. I'm sure you know the answer! #Yourfamilymatters ... See MoreSee Less

Madison Township Fire Department shared US National Weather Service Indianapolis Indiana's photo.

1 month ago

The combination of a lingering frontal boundary and the remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon will lead to conditions favorable for widespread showers and thunderstorms producing heavy rain across central Indiana this weekend. Total rainfall through Sunday may be as high as 3-6 inches across central Indiana, which could lead to flash flooding during the weekend, and river flooding late in the weekend into next week, some of which could be significant. Monitor weather conditions closely this weekend and be prepared to take action if water begins to rise and/or warnings are issued. Flood waters are extremely dangerous - stay away from them and NEVER drive through flooded roads - TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN! (Please visit weather.gov/ind for more information.) ... See MoreSee Less
