On April 12, we had a community breakfast. The turnout was excellent. A lot of faces we’ve seen before and a lot of new faces. I want to say thank you for everyone who came and ate and donated to the firefighters. Or a few pictures of the event. Sorry due to my injury. I am just now getting to thinking everyone. It’s nice to be part of the community that cares.

Also, we still have raffle tickets for the coolers available

Like to take a moment and shout out a huge thank you to the New Castle Masonic Lodge #91. They helped our department advertise for our community breakfast which was held April 12. As seen in the picture they advertised on their sign a huge thank you.

At this time of year, everyone loves to clean up their properties. In most cases, this involves burning tree limbs, old, dead foliage, and other things in the yard. Before you think about doing that, please know the law: you cannot burn everything. Some of the most important things to remember: you must stay with the fire until it is extinguished, you must have a source to extinguish the fire and keep it contained. You cannot burn trash or garbage. Please look at the following by visit www.idem.in.gov/openburning. Know the laws and rules before the fire department arrives. Most of all, please use common sense: if the wind is blowing, there is a good possibility that the fire is going to spread into nearby fields and/or wooded areas; please use caution.

Tonight I had the pleasure of giving a watch to Terry Vaughn for his 50 years of service. The membership of Prairie Township volunteer firefighters Inc. appreciates all of his service. We have had the watch for him since the first of the year, but due to weather and health issues we have just now got together to present it to him. Everyone that knows him. Please tell him thank you for his service.

Have been seeing a lot of fire hydrants with snow piled up around them. Please pay attention to wear your pushing snow too.

A special thanks to Kris Mees for the much needed help putting up the town of Mount Summers Christmas lights. And I think to all the members of Prairie Township firefighters that showed up to help.
