This morning just after 0700 hours, the Posey Township VFD was requested to assist Morristown Volunteer Fire Department on an incident just inside Shelby County. Crews operated on scene for about an hour before returning to Rush County.

At 1025 hours, Posey Township VFD, along with Rushville City Fire Department and the Rush County Sheriff’s Department, was dispatched to the 4000 West block of U.S. Highway 52 for a semi rollover. Crews worked the scene before clearing and returning to service.

At 1416 hours, Posey Township was dispatched to a field fire south of Arlington. With dry conditions across the area and winds, assistance was requested from Manilla Community Volunteer Fire Department, Morristown Volunteer Fire Department -Indiana, and Rushville Township Volunteer Fire Department. A local farmer also assisted crews with a tractor and disk, helping contain the fire and prevent further spread. Attached pictures were sent to us of the field fire south of Arlington.

At 10:45 Manilla was dispatched for a barn fire in Shelby county. When crews arrived, they found the barn fully involved. Water supply was established and two attack lines were stretched from Engine 61. The fire was brought under control in fifteen minutes. No injuries were reported. Our quick response was accomplished with the help of Shelbyville Fire Department, Morristown Fire Department, Posey Township Fire Department, and Fountaintown Fire Department. Thank you very much to all of our mutual aid partners. Your assistance is always greatly appreciated.

Just before noon on 9/29/26 the Posey Township Volunteer Fire Department along with numerous other agencies in the region responded to the Milroy area for a large commercial fire. Posey Township personnel assisted with water supply operations by utilizing multiple dump tanks to supply a ladder truck, and shuttling water with our tanker for several hours.

This morning, members of Posey Township VFD were joined by firefighters from Carthage Volunteer Fire Department, Manilla Community Volunteer Fire Department, and Rushville Township Volunteer Fire Department for some hands-on water supply training.

We spent the morning discussing and practicing different methods of drafting, as well as rural hitch/relay pumping and tanker operations.

Thank you to our neighboring departments for joining us for training!
