Friday night (3/13) at 8:34pm Russiaville VFD was dispatched to the 9400 block west on 200 south for a barn fire. While in route fire was visible within 1/2 mile from the scene and marked a working fire. Due to the high wind, building construction, and fire load the small barn was a total loss prior to arrival. Priority was given to protecting the adjacent garage and house located within close proximity of the fire. Other than a small amount of melted siding, no other damage was suffered to the other structures.
RVFD was assisted by Harrison Township VFD and Burlington VFD via automatic aid at time of dispatch. We would like to thank the members from both departments for your quick response and help on scene.
Thank you,
Chief L. Bartley

Tonight our crew conducted ice rescue training.

Training in cold-weather conditions helps ensure we’re prepared to respond quickly and safely to emergencies on frozen lakes and ponds. Our team practiced rescue techniques, equipment deployment, and coordinated operations to stay sharp during the winter months.

We train hard so we’re ready when you need us. Please remember—no ice is ever 100% safe. Stay cautious and stay safe.
