Firefighters put a quick 3-4 minute knockdown on this fire today at Greenwood Manor. No extension to other apartments other than smoke & water. Everyone is safe with no injuries which is what we want to always hear. Some residents & pets were displaced and are being assisted.

When it comes to EMS response, we get the quickest, most qualified EMS personnel to the scene as fast as we can to start life-saving measures. You can always feel safe knowing that your Terre Haute Fire Dept has close to 100 of the 150 firefighters Cross-trained as Paramedics.

THFD made 13,396 emergency responses in 2022 Many of these emergency runs are tiered responses. This means that more than one apparatus responds at a time. This is obvious when it comes to structures fires. We need as many firefighters as we can on those scenes.

Thankfully all Ladder 5 Crew members are safe and no bystanders were injured. It was a little rough on the Truck though. Ladder 5 was taken out of service for inspection and crew are utilizing our Reserve Ladder Truck.
