The fourth 2022 Firefighter Training Support Award was presented to Russ Futrell of 1-800-BoardUp of Central Indiana.
In 2022, 1-800-BoardUp provided free fire science training to all members of the department. On several occasions, they also provided lunch during training events. Having free lunch at these events wasn’t just a convenience. It also limited downtime to make our training events more efficient.
Thanks 1-800-BoardUp!

We appreciate the community sharing our history!

🚨Please Share🚨

Within the past week, first responders across Hendricks County and beyond have endured the agony of searching for loved ones who have wandered from their caregivers. Please take a moment to share our graphic here about Project Lifesaver Hendricks County.

Project Lifesaver facilitates locative technology to help those with a cognitive disorder such as Autism or Dementia who have a tendency to wander from their caregivers. Not everybody who is diagnosed with Autism or Dementia has a tendency to wander, however for those who do, this program can make a difference!

See our graphic below regarding program qualifications. This program is ran by the Washington Township / Avon Fire Department, and we are proud to work along side their team as the designated law enforcement liaison! This program is 100% free for Hendricks County residents who meet the criteria below.

You can find the forms online on our website!
