Anderson Fire Fighters Local 1262

Over the last week, City of Anderson Firefighters have once again shown that serving this community goes far beyond emergency calls. Sometimes it means helping the smallest members of our community get safely back home. 🐶🦆

Earlier this week, Brother Tyrone Fedrick found a small lost Chihuahua behind Station 4. After being missing for nearly two full days, the pup was cared for by the crew on Engine 4 until contact was made with the owner and the dog was safely reunited with its family.

Las t Saturday, Engine 7 was called to assist Animal Control with 14 baby wood ducks trapped inside a storm drain. Working together, crews were able to safely rescue the ducklings and reunite them with their parents.

Whether it’s responding to emergencies, training for the worst days, or taking the time to protect animals in need, our firefighters are proud to serve the City of Anderson every single day.

Great work by all involved. ❤️🚒

Last year, Anderson Firefighters responded to a serious crash on the interstate that required extensive extrication. Crews worked to free a patient trapped in her vehicle, utilizing specialized equipment and coordinating with IU Health LifeLine for transport.

This past week, that same patient invited our crews, the flight crew and the doctors who responded, to meet her at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where she had the honor of presenting a green flag at for Indy 500.

Responding units included C-Shift Engine 8, Rescue 1, Battalion 1, and Medic 1, with assistance from East Madison Fire Territory.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to reconnect and proud of the work our firefighters do every day, both on the scene and long after the call is over.
