New Carlisle, Olive-Hudson Fire Department

Josh Schweizer, Fire Chief
Phone: 574-654-3244

The all-volunteer fire department serves the Town of New Carlisle, Olive Township in St. Joseph County and Hudson Township in LaPorte County. The fire station is located in downtown New Carlisle, providing for rapid response to all parts of the town as it exists now and to all areas into which it is likely to grow. Improved and alternative East-West access routes and complete connectivity among subdivisions will be important to provide prompt response times to growth areas. The fire department relies on a long history of volunteer service to meet most needs.

Sharing a building with the fire department but operating under the Town government is the Emergency Medical Services Department. It is staffed by a full-time Medical-Services Director, whose services are supplemented by part-time, on-call employees who are professionals paid only when they are called. This service is available to residents of Hudson and Olive Townships, including those within the Town of New Carlisle, offering a significant additional benefit to taxpayers and residents of the Town.
