Indiana fire service news

Excerpts from nwitimes.com:

Franciscan Health will stop taking ambulances at the 124-year-old Franciscan Health Hospital in downtown Hammond at 6 a.m. Dec. 23, but will continue to take walk-in patients until Dec. 31. The Mishawkwa-based health care system is closing the emergency room and ceasing to provide inpatient care at the hospital that dates back to 1898 and had 226 rooms before Franciscan started downsizing it last year. Franciscan shrunk it to just 10 rooms and then decided to close it altogether.

While Franciscan Health will maintain medical offices in downtown Hammond, its disinvestment in Northwest Indiana’s largest city will effectively end the former St. Margaret’s run as a hospital, as it will no longer offer basic hospital services like overnight stays for observation.

Calumet City Fire Department’s ambulances will take patients to the Community and Franciscan hospitals in Munster, and the Ingalls hospital in Harvey. The Hammond Fire Department will take patients to the Community and Franciscan hospitals in Munster and the St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago.

Trauma patients who suffer stabbings or shootings will continue to be taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn or the University of Chicago hospital in Hyde Park.

Franciscan Health has been demolishing large parts of the 800,000-square-foot hospital. It continues to maintain offices in downtown Hammond for the uninsured and underinsured, the Fresh Start Market for the food insecure, a Diaper Pantry, the Prenatal Assistance Program, a primary care clinic, dialysis, anticoagulation clinic, a multi-specialty clinic, and the women’s health center.

Hammond has the largest fire department in Northwest Indiana and the most staff but that might not help people who need to get to the hospital as soon as possible, McDermott said.

Hammond Fire Department

This from Eric Haak:

Hammond, Indiana had a rather large commercial fire during the early morning hours of April 29th. The fire pretty much incinerated an old 2-story in the heart of downtown. I took the opportunity to get a few images of some of their rigs that were on scene once the sun came up and I thought I would share them here.

Hammond Fire Department news

Excerpts from the nwigazette.com:

April 24, 2017-Hammond firefighters responded to call after call last night with at least four structure fires included in the mix.  All of the fires occurred in the Robertsdale area. The calls included one house fire,  three garage fires and numerous trash can fires throughout the area. Battalion Chief Don Koerner confirmed that arson is suspected in all four blazes. Hammond Police have not yet issued a statement, but Chief Koerner confirmed that a person of interest is in custody. No one was injured in any of the fires, but one cat was burned to death in the garage fire on Lake Street.

The fire on Caroline was called in by a neighbor who saw flames shooting from the vacant house. On Lake, which is steps from the fire station, a neighbor told us that firefighters were refilling with water when they saw the flames shooting from the garage.

Here is what we have derived from the scanner at this point:

  • At approximately 4:25 a.m. Fire Fighters were called to 2009 Wespark for a garge fire.
  • At approximately 5:30 a.m. Fire Fighters were dispatched to the 1933 Caroline for a fire in a vacant house
  • At approximately 5:40 a.m. Fire Fighters were called to 2019 Stanton Avenue for a garage fire.
  • At approximately 6:02 a.m. Fire Fighters saw flames shooting from a garage at 2024 Lake Street.

NIPSCO crews could be seen in the area making repairs at multiple locations.

thanks Dan
