Shout out to Ted from Safeguard Solutions! Ted wanted to go beyond the minimum code requirements for fire safety and prevention and do more to keep his staff and patrons safe. He worked with NWFD Fire Marshal O'Haver as part of our Partners for Prevention program to ensure a safe environment in his business related to fire prevention and other safety initiatives. Our fire marshal is tasked with ensuring businesses in our community are meeting fire related safety codes. But it goes beyond annual inspections. He works to build relationships with the business owners and provide additional education, guidance and assistance with safety related initiatives. He is a wealth of knowledge! We encourage all business owners to reach out to us and learn more about how you can benefit from our Partners for Prevention program.

Today's bit of knowledge to share is regarding our EMS calls. We often hear bystanders ask "why is Bargersville responding to our call?" Good question! New Whiteland does not operate an ambulance from our station. It is cost prohibitive for our size budget. Instead we partner with our neighbors at Bargersville to provide Paramedic and ambulance service. They also serve the Whiteland area and to help keep response times to a minimum, they operate a medic out of Whiteland station 71 for both areas. While they are our primary provider, we also have agreements with the ambulance services operating from other surrounding departments so our residents will have a timely response for their medical needs even if BCFD is unavailable. All of our firefighters are required to obtain an EMT level certification. Many have higher certifications as well ensuring care is provided as quickly as possible.
Thank you to BCFD for our long standing partnership.
If you have an operational related question, send us a message and ask!

This is intended to provide general information to the public on why so many different apparatus respond to a fire.. It is not an attempt to gain accolades. Public education is part of our duties.
Informational post. Following the residence fire we had in town late March, several comments and questions arose and I thought others in the community may also appreciate the answers and knowledge sharing.
First, one assumption was made that since other fire departments were there that NWFD did not show up. This is false. Engine 11 was there as well as the Fire Chief, the Division Chief, and our Fire Marshal.
We were also questioned as to why we needed those other departments if we were there? Well, on a fire, there are many activities happening simultaneously. Not every situation is the same, but in a basic fire scenario you typically have a crew on fire attack with a second crew assisting, a crew on search and rescue, a crew providing ventilation to remove smoke, a crew ensuring water supply is established, someone monitoring safety, someone securing utilities, a crew on standby (RIT) in case of a firefighter emergency, at least 1 medic crew, and incident command. Then there are a couple of additional crews available so we can rotate as needed to give firefighters a break or time to change air bottles. The larger the fire, the more of these crews are needed to ensure the safety of our members and the incident is mitigated as quickly as possible.
This is a very simplified example, but hopefully sheds some light on the strategy in place.
If you have other questions or want to know more about our approach to emergency response, please send a message and let us know.

A big thank you to everyone that joined us for our Easter event at the Firehouse. The winners of our coloring contest were contacted to pick up their prize, as well as Matthew which was the closest guess on our jelly bean contest. 277 was the correct answer for anyone wandering! We also want to thank everyone that left cash donations and donations through Venmo. Those funds will be used towards upcoming public events by our members and auxiliary crew.
