Fire Department
Serving our community with pride and professionalism.
It is the mission of the New Whiteland Fire Department to protect life and property in our community, as well as those that surround us. Through strong leadership, training, and personnel development we shall respond to all calls for assistance with pride and professionalism.
Who Are We?
The New Whiteland Fire Department is a small urban department in Central Indiana, Northern Johnson County, that serves an area of approximately 1.7 square miles with a population of roughly 5,700 residents. Our department averages 600 runs per year, most being calls for EMS services. We also respond to structure fires, alarms, vehicle accidents, hazardous materials incidents, and water rescue incidents, just to name a few. We operate out of a single station with 2 engine companies, one squad/light rescue, and 1 support vehicle.
We staff 2 personnel who are paid part-time Monday-Friday from 1100-1900, and Saturday-Sunday from 0800-1600 to help in supplementing coverage. Our volunteer home response personnel cover all other times. We also have an overnight program. Members who do not reside in the immediate area are required to work a preset number of overnight shifts where they stay at the firehouse. This program allows us to open up the residency restrictions and allows members to be in the department that might not live in the general area.
All of our personnel are certified to the State of Indiana Firefighter 1/2, EMT-Basic, Hazardous Materials Awareness/Operations, and Technical Rescue Awareness levels. Many of our personnel also hold specialty certifications in areas such as Fire Instruction, Fire Investigations, Vehicle/Machinery Rescue, Water Rescue, Wildland Firefighter, Fire Inspections, and Urban Search & Rescue. The New Whiteland Fire Department currently maintains an ISO rating of 4.
Project Lifesaver
Project Lifesaver is the premier search and rescue program operated internationally by public safety agencies and is strategically designed for “at-risk” individuals who are prone to the life-threatening behavior of wandering. The primary mission of Project Lifesaver is to provide timely response to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children with the propensity to wander due to a cognitive condition.
To request further information about joining the program email: PLScoordinator@newwhiteland.in.gov or call 317-535-4902 for more information.
