🚒 A Thank You to Our Local Fire Department ❤️

We want to take a moment to thank the men and women of our local Odon fire department for their quick response, dedication, and willingness to serve our community. When an emergency happens, these are the people who answer the call and put themselves in harm’s way to help protect our families, businesses, and neighbors. We are truly grateful for all that they do. Today was one of those days when we called and they showed up in 5 MINUTES!

With the recent discussions surrounding the future of our local fire department and fire protection services, we also encourage everyone in our community to show up, listen, and ask questions at the upcoming Town Council meeting.

There are many questions and concerns being discussed, and the best way to gain clarity is to hear the information directly from those involved. What would any proposed changes mean for our community? How would emergency response be handled? What would the financial impact be? And what would the future of our local firefighters and fire protection look like?

These are important questions that deserve clear answers.

Please make your voice part of the conversation. Attend the meeting, listen to the information, ask questions, and stay informed about decisions that could affect the safety and future of our community.

📍 Town Council Meeting
Monday September 28th 6pm
Odon Community Building 311 Park St, Odon, IN
