Firefighters pick officers

       Four Johnson County firefighters were elected recently as officers of the Tri-County Fire Training Association. The tri-county group is made up of firefighters in Johnson, Morgan and Brown counties. Harry Fish, Whiteland, was named director of the group. Also among the new officers are; Dave Fishell, White River Township, assistant director; jack Matthews, Franklin, treasurer, and Pat McDaniel, secretary. Mike Moore, Amity, was named Johnson County’s representative for the group. Other county representatives named at the bi-monthly meeting held at Bargersville were Austin Brown, Fruitdale, Brown County, and James Bruner, Mooresville, Morgan County. The group discussed plans to sponsor a training program in the three counties and providing training instructors. They also held a discussion about holding a recruit school in March at Mooresville in Harrison Township as well as classes on fire instruction and basic arson investigation. More information will be delivered to individual fire departments. Firefighters with suggestions on other training schools are asked to call Harry Fish at 535-4124 or Pat McDaniel at 881-8872.  (Reprinted with permission from the Daily Journal)
