🍂🏡 **Fall Break is the perfect time to practice fire safety!** 🚒

As your family settles into fall break, take a few minutes to create a **Home Fire Escape Plan** and practice a home fire drill together!

🔥 Draw a map of your home and identify two ways out of every room.
🔥 Make sure smoke alarms are working.
🔥 Choose an outdoor meeting place a safe distance from your home.
🔥 Practice your escape plan with everyone in the household, including children and overnight guests.

Remember, in a real fire, **get outside, stay outside, and never go back inside!**

A little preparation today can make a big difference in an emergency. Make fire safety part of your fall break plans! ❤️🧡

Today, took a moment to honor former Fire Chief Timothy Faulk. Chief Faulk spent 25 years serving the Pike Township community before retiring as Fire Chief in 2000. Sadly, he passed away December 28, 2025. State Senator State Senator J.D. Ford and the Indiana Senate issued a proclamation in his honor - a tribute to his lifetime of service to his community and his family during the past legislative session. Chief Faulk’s commitment and impact on the Pike Township community can be seen every day in the operation of the Pike Township Fire Department. We extend a thank you to Tim’s family for sharing him with us, a thank you to Senator Ford for recognizing Tim’s commitment, and most of all, a thank you to Chief Faulk for his service and leadership.
