🚨 Regional Partnerships. Realistic Training. Stronger Response. 🚒

When hazardous materials emergencies occur, they don’t recognize county lines. That’s why regional training and interagency cooperation are critical to keeping our communities safe.

Members of joined emergency responders from Clark, Floyd, and Harrison Counties for a joint regional HAZMAT training exercise simulating a railway chemical incident involving hydrochloric acid.

Firefighters from Tri-Township Fire & Rescue , Clarksville Fire Department, and Harrison Township Fire Department worked together as entry teams, practicing the specialized skills, coordination, and safety procedures necessary to operate in a hazardous environment.

The exercise also brought together several supporting agencies, including:

🚨 Harrison County Emergency Management Agency

🚔 Harrison County Sheriff’s Department

🚑 Harrison County Hospital EMS

🏥 Harrison County Health Department

📞 Harrison County Dispatch

🚨 Clark County Emergency Management Agency - Indiana

🚨 Floyd County Emergency Management Agency

Incidents of this magnitude require much more than a single department. They demand coordinated efforts between fire, EMS, law enforcement, emergency management, public health, and communications personnel.

Training together today ensures we’re better prepared to respond together tomorrow.

We’re proud to work alongside our regional partners as we continue strengthening hazardous materials response capabilities throughout Southern Indiana.

We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to the residents of New Washington and the surrounding communities who answered the call for assistance. Many residents took time to check their properties, garages, outbuildings, vehicles, and security cameras, while others drove area roadways and remained vigilant for the missing juvenile.

Missing person searches require significant coordination, trained personnel, specialized resources, and cooperation between public safety agencies and the communities they serve. This response demonstrated the importance of maintaining local search and rescue capabilities and strong regional partnerships that allow agencies to come together when additional assistance is needed.

When a child is missing, the response extends beyond any one agency. We are proud of the personnel who answered the call, grateful for the community members who stepped forward to help, and most importantly, thankful that this search resulted in the juvenile being located.

Thank you to everyone who played a role in bringing this search to a successful conclusion.
