Mitigation of the mold in the sleeping quarters of the firehouse is near completion. Saturday morning, firefighters and an engine will return to the station and will be capable of responding to emergency runs from Station 92.

John Mehling, Public Information Officer for the Fishers Fire Department stated, “Work in the bunkroom will continue for a few more days to replace the damaged walls and air monitoring will continue. Until that room has been cleared by air sampling, firefighters will remain out of that specific area and it will remain sealed from the rest of the station. Firefighters will instead place beds in other areas of the station on a temporary basis. Once the bunkroom is cleared, the ladder company will return as well and normal operations will resume. Firefighters appreciate the patience and understanding of our community as this issue is resolved and we look forward to normal operations.”
