🚒 2026 Police vs. Fire Golf Outing 🚔

Tipton Professional Fire Fighters Local 1979 and Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #109 want to sincerely thank all participants and sponsors for their part in today’s successful golf outing. Without you, it wouldn’t be possible. All money raised today goes right back into the community of Tipton.

We want to congratulate Dylan Gingerich, Josie Gingerich, Nate Slack, and Kinnon Roudebush on winning this year’s outing with a score of 59.

Between Police and Fire, the Police brought home the bragging rights 👮🏻‍♂️🚔

As always, the Tipton Municipal Golf Course and Director of Golf Micah Voorhis were exceptional hosts. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Today, L1979 initiated two new members into the Union. We would like to congratulate Probationary Firefighters Christopher Saunders and Erick Figueroa on joining.

We’re more than just a union; we’re a movement, a brotherhood and sisterhood that is powering advancements in fire and emergency services in the United States, Canada, around the world, and here locally in Tipton, IN.

Tipton Local 1979 has partnered again with MDA for this year’s Fill The Boot Campaign. Our goal is $1,000. Members of L1979 will be walking the main parade route on Saturday, September 12 to collect cash donations. We have also set up a secure, online donation campaign for those who are interested.

The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) are proud to celebrate 70 years of partnership raising critical funds to support research, care and advocacy for people living with neuromuscular diseases. The Fill the Boot program has raised over $700 million to date since 1954, making the IAFF the top fundraising partner in MDA history. MDA is so grateful for the hundreds of thousands of IAFF members across America who have participated in Fill the Boot campaigns over the last seven decades and joined in its mission to empower people living with neuromuscular diseases to live longer, more independent lives.

We greatly appreciate your donation!

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month!

This month is all about awareness and attention for su***de awareness. Our department can help connect you with resources and point you toward the support you need. Warning signs of su***de can include withdrawing from friends and family, extreme mood changes, feelings of hopelessness or being a burden, increased alcohol or drug use, or talking about wanting to die. Taking these signs seriously and simply checking in with someone can make a difference.

You do not have to wait until things reach a crisis point to ask for help.

The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call or text 988 to connect with a trained crisis counselor. The service is free and confidential. If someone is in immediate danger or there is a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

This month, and every month, check on your friends, family members, coworkers, neighbors, and fellow first responders. Sometimes a simple conversation can be the first step toward getting someone the help they need.

At the Tipton Fire Department, our job is about more than responding to emergencies. We care about the health and well-being of the people we serve. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Share this post so we can reach as many people as possible!

Help is available. It’s OK to not be OK!
