Ok folks. We’re getting down to crunch time for the annual Concord Fire Bass Tourney! We’re a little over a week away and already have a dozen pre-registrations. Remember, the order the registrations come in is the order the boats will be released at the start of the tourney! Maybe that 3-5min delay doesn’t sound like much to you, but that’s extra fishing time and might just get you that award winning state Largemouth!

Reach out to us via messenger, email, or phone to lock in your pre-registration today! We also do walk-ins the day of the tourney.

We can’t wait to see you all next Saturday on Hamilton Lake for our fishing extravaganza!

Monday evening training consisted of river rescue operations utilizing rescue swimmers and our watercraft. Concord Fire is one of the only agencies in the county with a dedicated rescue boat for water rescues. While it won’t win any speed records, Boat 70 is stocked with throw ropes, buoyant dry suits (Gumby suits), personal floatation devices, and other miscellaneous rescue equipment we can deploy for water-related incidents.

While our watercraft is specifically set up for shallow draft operations on the Saint Joe river (average depth in Dekalb county of only 3-5ft depth during normal flow) it can also be used on lakes and ponds in neighboring jurisdictions if called.

Monday evening our firefighters familiarized themselves with deploying and operating the boat as well as simulating multiple victim recoveries in the river.

It’s that time of year again where we’ve been getting calls to fill swimming pools and water tanks. While we wholeheartedly support everyone’s god given right to enjoy the summer in whatever aqueous recreational form you may have, we want to remind everyone that Concord Fire Department does NOT provide pool fills and water deliveries. Due to fuels costs, liability risks, and a myriad of other reasons, we do not provide this service to the general public. We do, however, look forward to serving you in many other ways! Have a safe summer!!!

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice protects the freedoms we enjoy every day and will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, we ask everyone to take a moment to reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

From all of us at the Concord Fire Department, we thank our fallen heroes and keep their families in our thoughts today.

Have a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

This afternoon around 5pm, Concord Fire was dispatched on a possible vehicle fire on Widney St. Units arrived on scene and found a pickup truck with light smoke coming from the engine bay. The cause was assumed to be electrical in nature. The battery of the vehicle was disconnected and a device called a water wall was deployed under the vehicle to spray water directly up into the engine bay. The arching wires were remedied by the disconnection of the battery and any smoldering debris under the motor was extinguished by the water. The scene was placed under control and all units returned to service.

Units on scene:
Command 70
Engine 72
Brush 78

Total manpower:10

This week’s training focused around gas emergencies. Last nights class was sponsored by NIPSCO and our members were able to see different examples of gas line infrastructure, failure types, and some rather explosive demonstrations of what gas in a structure can do if not carefully mitigated.

🚒 YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU — and it's easier than you think! 🚒

Last year, something incredible happened right here in Concord Township. A group of dedicated volunteers came together, rolled up their sleeves, and pulled off our First Annual Auction Fundraiser — raising much-needed funds for life-saving tools and training for YOUR Concord Twp Volunteer Fire Department.

That's not just money. That's gear on our trucks. That's training that prepares our firefighters for the worst moments of your best neighbors' lives. That money matters — and the people who made it happen mattered even more.

Now we're doing it again. Bigger. Better.

October 17, 2026.

And here's the thing — we want YOU on the team. 🙌

You don't have to be a firefighter. You don't have to have event planning experience. You just have to care about this community and be willing to show up. Whether you're great with spreadsheets, know everyone in town, love decorating, have vendor connections, or just want to lend a hand wherever it's needed — there is a spot for you on this committee.

The first auction succeeded because of the heart and hustle of an amazing planning group. Imagine what we can do when even MORE of our community gets involved.

Here's your call to action: Sign up to join the 2nd Annual Auction Fundraiser Planning Committee before June 1st — spots are limited and we want motivated people around the table.

These firefighters show up for you at 2am without hesitation. This is one small way to show up for them. 🔥

Tag a neighbor who'd be perfect for this. Share this post. Let's make 2026 even bigger than 2025.

Ever wake up feeling like Bill Dance, that CLASSIC angler from the 90's fishing show? Full of confidence, big plans, and absolutely CONVINCED that the next cast is THE cast? If the fish cooperate, its skill. If they don't...blame it on the weather or that annoying guy hammering a dock in 30ft from the bass beds. Just pretend that every missed bite was part of the plan, keep those reels from getting closed in the tailgate or chewed up in the ceiling fan, and make sure the boat is unhooked from the trailer before backing down the ramp.

Sure, the lakes are covered in ice now...but come June 20th at sunrise on Hamilton Lake, the water will be the perfect temperature and the fish will be biting! Don't wait too long and get stuck at the back of the pack. Contact us now to get your boat number reserved and secure your potential place in fishing history by catching the next Indiana record Largemouth at our very own Concord Fire Bass Tournament!
