Volunteer firefighters are the heartbeat of our community. They respond to fires, accidents, storms, and emergencies of all kinds—often leaving their own families to help ours. We are grateful for their service and proud to call them neighbors. 🙌

Tonight, Luce Fire, was the recipient of a new GSI Rescue Tube and Auger. We would like to Thank Farm Credit Mid-America for their donation of the Rescue Tube, as well as Jonathan Spaetti and Midwest Ag for their generous donations to make this happen. These tools will be used in the event of a grain entrapment in our community and any surrounding communities. Donations such as these go a long way towards helping make our community safer. Thank You to all involved, we greatly appreciate you!

🚜🏡 Breaking Ground in Dale, Indiana! Orchard Estates!

Today we celebrated the start of a new 40 unit duplex development with Reinbrecht Homes, made possible through a $1.5 million READI investment.

A huge thank you to Reinbrecht Homes, state and local partners, and community leaders who worked together to bring this project to life.

This investment means more housing options, jobs for our local workforce, and long-term growth for Spencer County. Exciting things are happening right here in Dale! 💪✨
