Avid followers of our page may have noticed a few hints about a new program being in the works here at VCFD over the past few months…

A few references here, a few emojis there…🩸

Well, the suspense is just about over because as of 1400 hours this afternoon, we went live with a new initiative, completely unique to the ground EMS system of southwestern IN, that has the potential to make a major impact in trauma survival rates for our region.

Want to hear more? Stop by VCFD Station #1 at 1540 E. Baseline Rd TOMORROW at 9:30am for a public hands-on presentation about this exciting new program.

Hope to see you there!🩸🚑🚨

🔥 $10,642.01 Raised for MDA! 🔥

We are incredibly proud to announce that, thanks to the generosity of our community, Vanderburgh County Fire Department collected $10,642.01 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association during this year’s Fill the Boot campaign!

Our crews spent the weekend out in the community collecting donations, and once again, you showed up in a big way. Every dollar, every handful of change, and every person who stopped to contribute helped make this possible.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated, to our firefighters who volunteered their time, and to everyone who helped support the effort throughout Frog Follies weekend.

We are proud to serve this community, and even more proud to see how strongly our community supports others.

Thank you, Vanderburgh County!!

Help a local brothers family in need. Every little bit helps.

🚨Mayday Alert for Capt Pace’s son, Jentry🚨

On July 5, Captain John Pace of the Ohio Township Fire Department was boating with his family when a tragic accident occurred. His five-year-old son, Jentry, suffered critical injuries after being struck by a boat propeller. Captain Pace immediately pulled Jentry from the water and brought him safely to shore, where they were met by a conservation officer. Using a tourniquet provided by the officer, Captain Pace helped stabilize his son until emergency medical care arrived. Jentry was then transported to Norton Children's Hospital in Louisville, where he has undergone multiple surgeries.

Jentry pulled past his initial injuries, but it is still uncertain whether his leg can be saved. He continues to face additional surgeries, followed by what is expected to be a long and challenging recovery. Captain Pace and his wife, Jana, are standing by Jentry's side every step of the way while also caring for their two daughters during this difficult time. The entire Pace family is facing an overwhelming emotional and physical journey together, so let’s pull together some love and financial support while they face this fight.
