🚨 NOW LIVE: Community Connect 🚨
Help us help you — starting today!

We’re excited to officially launch Community Connect, a new tool powered by First Due that allows you to share important information with Bargersville Fire before an emergency ever happens.

By creating a secure profile, you can provide details like:
• 🚪 Entry points and layout info
• 🧍‍♂️ Occupants with mobility or medical needs
• 🐾 Pets in the home
• 🔌 Utility shutoffs
• 🏢 Business contacts or hazards (for commercial properties)

All data is completely secure and only accessed by our first responders during a 911 response — helping us respond faster, smarter, and safer when seconds count.

A-Shift beat the heat this morning with some rope rescue training at our training facility.

Crews worked through rope systems and rescue techniques before the temperatures climbed for the day.

A good reminder to stay hydrated!

Several Days of Dangerous Heat Ahead

A prolonged stretch of hot and humid weather is expected across central Indiana this week, with heat index values expected to climb well above 100 degrees.

If you spend time outdoors this week:

☀️ Drink plenty of water—even if you don’t feel thirsty.
☀️ Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
☀️ Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
☀️ Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle.
☀️ Check on elderly family members, neighbors, and anyone without reliable air conditioning.
☀️ Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and don’t wait to seek help if someone becomes ill.

Whether you’re working outside, exercising, attending ball games, or getting ready for the Fourth of July holiday, take the heat seriously and plan accordingly.

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and look out for one another.

🧠 Know the Signs of a Stroke 🚑

A stroke can happen quickly, and recognizing the warning signs can make a major difference.

Remember BE FAST:

B – Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination
E – Eyes: Sudden vision changes
F – Face: Facial droop or uneven smile
A – Arms: Arm weakness or numbness
S – Speech: Slurred or unusual speech
T – Time: Call 911 immediately

If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait to see if they improve. Call 911 so treatment can begin as quickly as possible.

Knowing the signs could help save a life.

Yesterday, two of our EMS Duty Officers represented the Bargersville Community Fire Department at the Franciscan Health EMS Education Career Fair.

They had the opportunity to meet with students preparing to enter the EMS profession, answer questions, and talk about careers in emergency services.

Thank you to Franciscan Health for the invitation and for bringing together students and public safety agencies from across Indiana.
