Ivy Tech Community College
Public Safety Technology

The program is housed at Ivy Tech-Central Indiana's Public Safety building on its Lawrence campus. Their apparatus garage is right next door to Lawrence Fire Station 4. This state-of-the-art facility includes a training tower, simulation cities, a fire apparatus sprinkler system lab, pump simulators, confined space rescue facilities and a Haz-Mat lab. All of these are utilized to best prepare students in the field of public safety.

The Ivy Tech Public Safety Technology Apparatus Fleet
The two pumpers above were donated to the school for training purposes. The aerial was purchased from the City of
Lawrence. All of the rigs were then refurbished at RPI in Tipton before being repainted and put into educational service. Ivy Tech
keeps three fully equipped and functional rigs along with additional sets of turnout gear, SCBA's and other personal equipment.

Ladder 9 - 1982 Sutphen 100' Mid-mount platform - 1500gpm/250gal
This truck formerly served next door as Ladder 40 for City of Lawrence.

Engine - 1978 Ford C8000/E-One Pumper - 1250gpm Hale pump/500gal
Shortly after this picture was taken, this rig was moved north to the J. Everett Light Career Center in Washington Township.
The move will give the students there additional access to fire apparatus.
