Today, Brown County Volunteer Fire Department would like to recognize the fathers of BCVFD.

These men answer two of life's most important callings: being a dad and serving their community. Whether they're teaching their children how to ride a bike, helping with homework, attending ball games, or responding to emergencies in the middle of the night, they lead by example every day.

The fathers of BCVFD demonstrate dedication, sacrifice, and service both at home and in the firehouse. They show their children what it means to care for others, work hard, and step up when someone needs help.

We know that every call, training, meeting, and community event means time spent away from family. Today, we want to thank the dads of BCVFD for the sacrifices they make and for the example they set for the next generation.

Happy Father's Day to the fathers of Brown County Volunteer Fire Department. Thank you for all you do for your families, our department, and the community we serve.

Brown County Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend a sincere thank you to Jenny Johnson for sponsoring Julian to attend a Pet CPR & First Aid course.

As first responders, we are committed to serving our community and continuously expanding our knowledge and skills. This training provided valuable education on recognizing pet emergencies, administering first aid, and performing CPR on our four-legged family members when every second counts.

We are grateful for community members like Jenny who invest in education and help make these opportunities possible. The knowledge gained through this course not only benefits our members but also strengthens our ability to serve the residents and pets of Brown County.

Thank you again to Jenny Johnson for your generosity and support of continuing education.

🚒⚡ Training Spotlight: Power Line Safety ⚡🚒

A huge thank you to the Brown County Highway Department - Indiana for taking the time to provide power line safety training to our members today.

First responders encounter downed power lines and utility hazards in a variety of emergency situations, from motor vehicle crashes and storms to structure fires and wildland incidents. Understanding these dangers and knowing how to operate safely around energized equipment is critical to protecting both responders and the public.

We appreciate the knowledge, experience, and real-world insight shared during today's training. Partnerships like these help ensure our members remain prepared to serve our community safely and effectively.

☀️🔥 HEAT ADVISORY: STAY SAFE THIS WEEK, BROWN COUNTY! 🔥☀️

With temperatures climbing and heat index values expected to make it feel even hotter, the members of Brown County Volunteer Fire Department encourage everyone to take a few extra precautions while enjoying summer activities.

Whether you're headed to the fair, spending time on the lake, mowing the yard, or enjoying time outdoors, heat-related illnesses can happen quickly.

💧 Stay Hydrated
✅ Drink plenty of water throughout the day—even if you don't feel thirsty.
✅ Avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine, which can contribute to dehydration.
✅ Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.

🎡 At the Fair or Community Events
✅ Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
✅ Apply sunscreen regularly.
✅ Seek shade whenever possible.
✅ Keep an eye on children, older adults, and anyone with medical conditions who may be more sensitive to the heat.

🌊 Water Safety
✅ Never swim alone.
✅ Wear a life jacket when boating, kayaking, or paddleboarding.
✅ Designate a responsible adult to actively supervise children around water—distractions happen fast.
✅ Remember that alcohol and water activities do not mix.

🌱 Yard Work & Outdoor Projects
✅ Try to work during the cooler morning or evening hours.
✅ Take frequent breaks and don't push through dizziness, fatigue, or nausea.
✅ Wear sunscreen, a hat, and lightweight clothing.
✅ Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

🚗 Don't Forget About Vehicles
❌ Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle, even for a few minutes. Interior temperatures can become deadly in a very short time.

🚨 Know the Warning Signs
Heat Exhaustion:
* Heavy sweating
* Dizziness
* Weakness
* Headache
* Nausea
Heat Stroke (Medical Emergency):
* Hot, dry skin or altered mental status
* Confusion
* Loss of consciousness
* Body temperature above 103°F

📞 If someone shows signs of heat stroke, call 911 immediately and move them to a cooler location while waiting for help.

Most importantly, check on your neighbors, especially older adults and those without air conditioning.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and have a safe week
