Today, we held our first community CPR certification class, and it was a success. The students learned proper CPR techniques for adults, children and infants. The students learned how to assist choking patients as well. For their efforts they will receive a nationally recognized CPR certification and be prepared to help a person in need. That person could be a family member or a complete stranger, but these students will now be prepared to assist in an emergency event. The general public are the best first responders.

We look forward to hosting more training classes like this in the future.

You may have noticed some abnormal activity at the station today. That’s because we started the process of expanding our station by cutting the existing concrete into smaller sections to prepare for its removal. The scope of the project will include adding 16’ onto the east side of our apparatus bays as well as a new roof.

With a growing community and the increasing size of fire services vehicles, we are pushing the limits of our current station. This small expansion will allow us to be more organized and efficient while growing into the future needs of southwest Tippecanoe County.

We are happy to share that the contractors that have been hired for this project are West Point based contractors and residents. We enjoy supporting local business.

Keep an eye out in the coming weeks as our station takes on a slightly new look! We can’t wait to stretch our legs in the new space.

After taking a couple days to recover and reflect on the 2026 West Point Community Fish Fry, all we can really say is, WOW! This year’s event was an amazing success and an event of this magnitude wouldn’t be possible without the wonderful volunteers and supporters. From the planning stages until the last lonely french fry is picked up, nearly 100 volunteers have played a role in making this event possible. We can’t thank each and every one of you enough.

To go along with our volunteers, we have dedicated sponsors who assist us as well. Thank you to, Cheesman Inc, Hawbaker Farms, Lafayette Logistics, Ferrel Gas, McCutcheon FFA, Prairie Farms/Ice Cream Specialties, Clear Path Grounds and Demo, Keystone Cooperatives, and The Roger’s Group. These partners are a vital part of a successful event.

Lastly, but definitely not least, THANK YOU to everyone that came out to attend the West Point Community Fish Fry. We hope you enjoyed your meal as well as time spent with family and friends. The West Point Community appreciates all of you.

We are already looking forward to the 2027 edition of The West Point Community Fish Fry! Mark your calendars and clear your schedule for September 25, 2027!

We are under 4 hours away from the Annual West Point Community Fishy Fry! Just a few friendly reminders:
Handicap parking spots will be available in front of Cheesman Inc. Please be kind, courteous and follow the directions of our awesome parking crew. Do not drive through people’s yards to make your own way… (we’ve seen some things! 👀)

Pricing is $17 for ages 10 and up, $8 for ages 9 and under and a hot dog kids’ meal is available. We are able to take credit/debit cards, but there is a $1 fee per meal if you choose to use a card.

This year, the carryout line is merged with the eat-in line. Just let the servers know you need a to-go box instead of a plate.

Dessert is included with your meal so make sure you get a cookie AND and an ice cream sandwich while you are here. Two desserts?? Who does that?? Only the best!!

See you all in a few hours.

Good morning West Point! We are up and ready for fish fry set-up. We could definitely use some more hands to get the day started. If you are around, swing on in.
We’d love to have your help!
