Thank You, Merrillville

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who came out yesterday afternoon to support our own Captain Phil Hasier and the Bay to Brooklyn riders.

Your presence, encouragement, and warm welcome meant so much to Phil and to every rider making this important memorial journey. Thank you to everyone who helped with the es**rt, shared a meal, spent time with the riders, or simply took a moment to wave and show your support.

This ride honors the firefighters, first responders, military members, and families whose sacrifices must never be forgotten. Because of your support, Phil and the riders were reminded that they are carrying the encouragement of an entire community with them.

We are proud of Captain Hasier and grateful to everyone who helped make yesterday such a meaningful show of support. Thank you for standing together with us and helping keep the spirit of remembrance alive.

The Merrillville Fire Department is incredibly proud to announce that Captain Phil Hasier will be participating in the upcoming "Bay to Brooklyn" memorial bicycle ride.

Starting August 2, 2026, Captain Hasier will join a select team of riders journeying from Santa Clara, CA, to Brooklyn, NY. This cross-country ride commemorates the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, honoring the 343 FDNY firefighters, countless first responders, and military personnel who gave their lives, as well as those who continue to battle WTC-related illnesses.

Captain Hasier has been a steadfast leader in our department for years, and this ride exemplifies the enduring connection and brotherhood shared by first responders nationwide.

We are asking for our community's support to help fund his journey. If you or your organization would like to contribute to his ride, please visit the link below.
