Today, we stand together as a community of first responders to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Many of our local firefighters, police officers, and EMS personnel proudly continue their service to others long after their military duty has ended.

To all veterans—especially those within our first responder family—thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and continued commitment to protecting others. Your dedication to service inspires us every day.

We salute you today and always.

🔥 Fire Safety in Action! 🔥
United Services / 1-800-BoardUp Griffith recently teamed up with the Lowe’s stores in Merrillville and Schererville to support our local fire departments in a big way!
Together, we built four live “burn box” demonstration units that firefighters used during community open houses. These boxes are set up like mini rooms with real furniture—then safely ignited to show how fast a fire can spread.
It’s an eye-opening reminder of why EDITH (Exit Drills In The Home) and calling 911 immediately are so important. When fire strikes, seconds matter!
We are proud to support our firefighters and help bring education to our communities. 👩‍🚒🚒💙
