Indianapolis Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 416 members rescued an unconscious man from a residence fire on Sunday.

Indianapolis Fire Department crews arrived to find smoke coming from a two story, boarded up building and a fire burning in the downstairs living room.

During a primary search, Local 416 members quickly located an unconscious man upstairs. Fire fighters used a ground ladder to remove him through a window and bring him safely to the ground.

IFD and IAFF L416 Indianapolis EMS District members immediately began providing medical care. Within minutes, the man showed signs of improvement and was transported to an area hospital for further treatment.

Exceptional work by all Local 416 members on the scene. Your courage, skill, and bravery make a difference every day in protecting the citizens of Indianapolis.

President Shannon Whiteley and the Executive Board of Indianapolis Professional Firefighters Local 416 would like to sincerely thank everyone who joined us for this year’s Reading of the Names Ceremony.

A special thank you to the Emerald Society for hosting the Retiree Breakfast and helping start the day with fellowship and camaraderie among our retired members.

A special thank you to our keynote speaker, Retired Captain Tim McDonnell, for his heartfelt remarks honoring our fallen brothers.

We were especially honored to welcome the Byerly family as we added their loved one’s name to the memorial. Their presence was a meaningful reminder of why we gather each year—to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and to ensure their families know they will always be part of our fire service family.

To our active members, retirees, families, and community partners, thank you for standing together in remembrance.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and their legacy will forever live on.

Never Forgotten. Always Honored.
