Fishers Fire Department boasts new ladder truck at Station 392

10/17/2018 Fishers firefighters welcomed the arrival and placing in service of a new Pierce 105’ ladder truck at Station 392 this week. The station is located at the corner of 116th Street and Brooks School Road.
Companies and their families followed rich fire service tradition by “wetting down” the truck, praying over it for the protection of firefighters and all they serve, and “pushing” the truck into its bay.
While these traditions have evolved since the days of the horse drawn carts, the importance of “family” and “tradition” lives on with our firefighters and the inclusion of our families for these events.
