I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for the support and generosity of our community. As most of you know by now we are applying for a grant to build a new firehouse. We have been working on raising money for our portion of the grant match. Just a couple of months ago we set a goal of $50,000 and reached out to the community for help. And help they have. Donations have been pouring in and just this morning we received an over $23,000 donation from our friends at the Bowling Green Community Church. With that it puts us less than $10,000 from our goal. Our community is amazing and we couldn't be more grateful.

Washington township residents! As I'm sure you have heard by now we are working towards getting a grant through IOCRA to build a new fire station. We need letters of support from our community members. Support of the project, good experiences with the fire department etc. These letters can be typed, handwritten or emailed. If you have any questions please feel free to private message here, email [email protected] or our mailing address is PO Box 65 Bowling Green, IN 47833. As always we thank you for your support and look forward to a bright future.

The Bowling Green Firehouse. Originally built in 1981 as a 2 bay block building later added on-to with an additional 2 bay pole structure.

One of Clay County's most utilitarian firehouse has no rest rooms for the firefighters. 2 years ago we added a port-a-pot as our volunteers base expanded and several female firefighters joined. Our running water consists of a single indoor garden hose to suit the majority of our needs from washing fire hose to rinsing out the bays.

During the winter we heat the firehouse to a balmy 55 degrees except on meeting nights where it occasionally gets up to 65 degrees. On hot summer days we pull chairs outside and try our best to talk over the roar of traffic from State Road 46.

Our office is an upstairs mezzanine that is almost always so full of gear and supplies that you can't turn around. During the summer just walking up the stairs the heat will take your breath away.

THE GOOD NEWS! We are working towards a GRANT to build a more modern fire station. Soon we will post a Go Fund Me and start talking with local businesses to help offset the match required to get this grant.

Stay tuned as we embark on this exciting journey in 2026!
