Ummmm.....that is interesting. I thought the Fire Chief for Madison Township was Tim Medsker. Oh wait! It is!!

The article is unclear. Which department supposedly put the fire out the first time? Or did the homeowner think he had it out himself and then it rekindled and the three departments were finally called to do the job right?

Can someone please explain what is wrong with the Madison Twp Fire Department? This house almost within view of the fire station yet it took 25 minutes for them to show up. Is that why Brown and Mooresville FDs had to also respond??
And which department left the fire the first time? Why wasn't it properly extinguished?
So many unanswered questions here. But it appears that there are some management issues with the Madison Township FD. Maybe conflicts exist.

You have got to be a moron, yeap, thats it. How do you figure it took 25 mintues for them to show up? Perhaps it took 25 mintues for the FD to get there AFTER the fire started, not from when the 911 call was made.

Hey Pinky, I called and talked to one of the fireman on the fire and the home owners called 911 on thier cell phone and the 911 center in Marion county took the call first and Marion county had to find the correct 911 center to send the call to, which they thought was Hendricks county, then Hendricks county sent it to Morgan county...that's why it took 25 mintues to get someone there. Not because the fireman just waited and didnt go. Brown and Mooresville responded to assist with MUTUAL AID because on a fire you need as many people are you can get so NO ONE gets KILLED.....but I guess that isn't important to you.
