With the popularity of Doordash, Grubhub, Uber, Lyft, and other quick delivery services such as "order for pickup", we have noticed a growing and disturbing trend of people using the Fire Lanes for parking.
PLEASE do not use these lanes even for something "quick". #firelanes #pikefire
This thrill and horror of watching fire develop and progress, up-close and personal, cannot be understated. This week the recruits were able to suit-up for the first time and experience the behavior of fire while exposing themselves to temps approaching 1000° F. #pikefire #Zionsville Fire Dept
Today marks the 12 year anniversary of the passing of Jacqueline "Jaci" Phillips. In addition to her 20 years of service to #pikefire and Pike Township, she was a member of Indiana USAR Task Force #1 and was part of the rescue efforts at Ground Zero. #PTFD #neverforgotten

This weekend, #pikefire crews along with Wayne Township Fire Department assisted in the 2025 #PolarPlunge for the Special Olympics Indiana! Wind was blowing hard and temps were freezing, but that didn't stop folks from coming out and supporting a great cause. #freezingforareason
A beautiful day for getting the foam trailer out and training. Foam-60 is a specialized piece of apparatus that requires a lot of hands-on time to familiarize firefighters with its operation. Foam 60 is stationed at Pike Station 63 near 86th & Michigan Rd. #pikefire. #beprepared
