Peru Firefighters Local 383

🚨ATTENTION LOCAL BUSINESSES🚨

Did you know that all businesses are required to have fire extinguishers, according to regulations from organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and local fire codes? These rules mandate that businesses provide approved extinguishers that are accessible, properly maintained, and suitable for the types of fire risks present in the workplace. Extinguishers need to be inspected at least annually and tagged indicating such, and they also need other services, such as hydrostatic testing, at certain yearly marks.

Did you know that Peru Fire LOCAL 383 provides fire extinguisher services within our fire area? Whether that be servicing existing extinguishers or selling new & refurbished extinguishers, Peru Fire LOCAL 383 can help; most of the time at a fraction of the cost of other brand name extinguisher service businesses!

If your business Extinguishers, or even ones in your home, need service, give us a call at 765 472 2410 or stop by Station 1 (85 W. Canal Street, Peru, IN) and speak to any of the Firefighters on duty.

Thanks & Stay Safe ! 🔥🧯

All of the members of Peru Firefighters Local 383 want to say thank you, first and foremost to every one who came to the benefit dinner this past Tuesday to support Gavyn and his family. Seeing the number of people that came out for dinner that night made it all worth smoking pork butts for 3 straight days! 💨🐖

Secondly, we want to give a HUGE thank you to Harvey Hinklemeyers (Jeff, Josie & Zac Butts) for their donations and support to the cause. Harvey's donated almost of the food and supplies to us to help minimize cost and maximize the amount of money we could give to Gavyn & his family.

Special thank you also to Peru Community Schools for allowing us to hold the dinner at the High School the night of the Peru VS North Miami basketball game, and to Athletic Director Colin Quin for all the help and support we received leading up to the event.

Thank you to Marc Arnold and Arnie's Ace Hardware as well for the generous donation of wood pellets to get us through all the smoking!

THANK YOU MIAMI COUNTY 🔥🚒🧯
