Help a local brothers family in need. Every little bit helps.

🚨Mayday Alert for Capt Pace’s son, Jentry🚨

On July 5, Captain John Pace of the Ohio Township Fire Department was boating with his family when a tragic accident occurred. His five-year-old son, Jentry, suffered critical injuries after being struck by a boat propeller. Captain Pace immediately pulled Jentry from the water and brought him safely to shore, where they were met by a conservation officer. Using a tourniquet provided by the officer, Captain Pace helped stabilize his son until emergency medical care arrived. Jentry was then transported to Norton Children's Hospital in Louisville, where he has undergone multiple surgeries.

Jentry pulled past his initial injuries, but it is still uncertain whether his leg can be saved. He continues to face additional surgeries, followed by what is expected to be a long and challenging recovery. Captain Pace and his wife, Jana, are standing by Jentry's side every step of the way while also caring for their two daughters during this difficult time. The entire Pace family is facing an overwhelming emotional and physical journey together, so let’s pull together some love and financial support while they face this fight.

Our sincerest prayers and condolences to the family of Chief Edmonson.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of one of our active-duty members.

After 45 years of service to the fire service and the citizens of our community, Deputy Chief David Edmondson passed away peacefully at home yesterday surrounded by his loved ones. Throughout his career, he exemplified professionalism, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to protecting others. His decades of service reflect a lifetime devoted to this profession and the people we serve.

Deputy Chief Edmondson was not only a respected leader but also a mentor, friend, and brother to many within our organization. His experience, knowledge, and leadership helped shape our department and the members who had the privilege of serving alongside him. He also demonstrated incredible strength and resilience through his courageous battle with cancer, facing it with the same determination and character that defined his career.

During this difficult time, please keep the Edmondson family in your thoughts and prayers. We will share additional information regarding arrangements and opportunities for members to pay their respects as soon as it becomes available.

On behalf of the entire Vanderburgh County Fire Department, we extend our deepest condolences to the Edmondson family and honor the decades of service and sacrifice he gave to the fire service.
