The storms of April 29 hit Indiana County hard and kept first responders throughout the county busy and likely will for days. That includes fire fighters, police, EMTs and 911 dispatchers who take a ton of calls during these times. And let’s not forget the power crews who have put in all those hours to get power back up in many areas.

We want to thank them and we’re offering you an opportunity to send your special thank you message right here on our ‘Salute Our First Responders!’ page.
