 We are proud to announce that Jeremy Bush has been named the Executive Fire Chief for the unified Allen County Fire District. With years of dedicated service and leadership within the county's emergency services, Chief Bush will oversee the integration of our five districts and lead our unified department into this new chapter. His commitment to public safety and strategic vision will ensure that as we become one entity, our focus remains steadfast on providing the highest level of protection and service to every resident of Allen County.

 The unification of our fire and emergency services is anchored by a formal interlocal agreement, signed and supported by all five participating districts: Northwest, Southwest, West Central, Northeast, and East Central. This historic accord serves as the legal and operational foundation for our transition, outlining a shared commitment to unified governance and resource management. By signing these agreements, our district leadership and county officials have moved beyond independent operations to create a singular, stronger entity focused on providing superior, consistent protection for every corner of Allen County. 

 On Wednesday, April 8th, leadership from the Allen County Fire District hosted a community meeting in Arcola, IN, to provide an update on our unification progress. This gathering offered a valuable opportunity for residents to engage directly with district leaders, share their feedback, and ask questions about the future of our emergency services. We are committed to maintaining this open dialogue as we work together to build a safer, more unified county.
