Meet the Madison County Firefighters’ Foundation

The Fire Rescue House provides transitional housing for families displaced by fires. The foundation and its generous volunteers provide all of the necessary support such as counseling, food, clothing, medical attention and other basic necessities, while also assisting families in finding permanent housing during this emotional and difficult time.

Dedicated September 29, 2009, the Fire Rescue House has helped seven families start the process of rebuilding their lives after a devastating event. But the cause does not stop in Madison County. A second Fire Rescue House has been opened in Miami County, IN and a third is in the works. With continued support and growing awareness, we hope to spread the knowledge we have gained and continue this inspirational effort throughout Indiana and across the country.

  • Since the dedication in September of 2009 the Fire Rescue House of Madison County has housed seven families.
  • A residential fire occurs every 78 seconds in the United States
  • In 2008, 403,000 fires occurred in residential properties across the country.

This project is made possible through the generous outpouring of aid, effort and donations from local residents and businesses that believe in our mission of offering support during a most desperate time of need.
