The volunteer firefighters held a private reception on Friday night to honor the hard work of Mr. Noah Way and all the time spent in getting the fire station finished, and Mrs. Frances Fairfield and her late husband Floyd Fairfield for gifting the six acres of land the new fire station is built upon.

This is the 50th year that Thorntown and the Sugar Creek Township have pooled fire protection resources and shared the same fire station to reduce expenses!  It will continue as they now share a NEW 14 bay firestation to protect the people of Thorntown and Sugar Creek Township in Boone County.

Frances Fairfield was touched that the firefighters would honor her and her late husband Floyd Fairfield for their generosity of the land donation gift to help build the Thorntown/Sugar Creek Township fire station.

Great granddaughter Kendall Dickerson had her own set of wheels as she took the wheel of the new Thorntown Pumper fire truck that cost $270,000. 

COME ON OUT TO THE DEDICATION OF THE NEW FIRESTATION in Thorntown on Saturday, March 19th at 1 P.M. 

The new fire station is located directly across from the Thorntown Elementary School on State Road 47 South.

Looks like a very nice station.  And a day for all the citizens to be proud and celebrate.

Hi Leilani, it was really fun to do and Sharon and I had a close connection to the open house on Friday night as it was Sharon's mom and dad that gifted the six acres of land as well as a generous monetary donation to help get things started.

Hi Tammy, it is a beautiful fire station with shared costs between Thorntown and Sugar Creek Township in pooling the funding and firefighting resources.  It is the way government agencies should work by co-operating together to make things more efficient and save the taxpayers money.

Sharon and Bruce  I agree with Leilani - that is an excellent post about the Thorntown/Sugar Creek Fire Department.  Pooling resources is important in smaller communities - it could also work in larger communities if politicians would give it a try

Karen, thank you!  I am all for our politicians pooling the resources of communities and sharing the services and reducing the tax levels.

Pat, it is a wonderful new facility that was constructed without having to borrow any money!  How special to have a firefighter in your family!  I will have a post about the actual dedication that was attended by several hundred people!  It was a great day on Saturday for the actual dedication.
