Outstanding work by our brothers and sisters at the Whitestown Fire Department! Great save and another example of the professionalism and dedication shown by firefighters across Boone County Professional Firefighters Association Local 5195

Whitestown Professional Firefighters Local 5195 members rescued one person after a box truck became partially submerged in a retention pond.

Whitestown Fire Department crews were dispatched for a vehicle rescue after a box truck carrying washers and dryers drove into a retention pond. The driver was able to get out of the truck and safely wade to shore, but the passenger climbed onto the roof of the cab and waited for help.

Firefighters quickly set up the ladder truck and used aerial operations to safely rescue the passenger from the top of the vehicle. No injuries were reported.

Great work by these Local 5195 members. Their quick thinking, training, and skill brought this incident to a safe conclusion.

Fire fighters put their lives on the line every day, and the dangers don’t end when the fire is out. Research continues to show that repeated exposure to toxins on the job can significantly increase the risk of Parkinson’s Disease among fire fighters.

Senator Jim Banks and Senator Andy Kim have introduced the bipartisan Parkinson’s Protection for Firefighters Act to recognize Parkinson’s Disease as a job related illness for federal fire fighters.

Backed by the International Association of Fire Fighters, the bill would help fire fighters get quicker access to medical benefits, reduce red tape, and ease the financial and emotional strain on families while members focus on treatment and recovery.

Indiana has been one of the leaders in recognizing Parkinson’s as a presumptive illness for fire fighters, and this legislation is another step toward protecting those who dedicate their lives to protecting others.

Today at the Professional Fire Fighters Union of Indiana 50th state convention, our local leadership was honored to have our District Vice President introduce our Mayor Matt Gentry as a featured guest speaker.

Our leadership spoke about the importance of strong working relationships between elected officials, administrative chiefs, and union leadership. When everyone works toward the same goals - improving firefighters health, safety, and benefits - the entire community benefits and becomes safer.

We were also proud to highlight the successful implementation of our merit board, a major step forward in promoting fairness, professionalism, accountability, and long term stability within our department.

Finally we discussed the progress being made toward our first collective bargaining agreement with the city and the positive impact it will have for our firefighters, department, and the community for years to come.
