Fire & EMS Protection

Township Trustees are, by Indiana Law, (Indiana Code 36-8) responsible to provide fire and EMS protection for the areas of the township that are not incorporated into the city or town. This can be done by contracting with your local fire department. Some townships operate their own township fire department, and some do a combination. Adams Township contracts with the Town of Sheridan for our Fire and EMS protection.

We purchased some new extraction equipment for the fire department in 2019.  The pictures below shows the department practicing with the new equipment.
