Retiring out of one of the Busiest and Most Respected Firehouses in Indianapolis is a True Honor. If you ask any firefighter on the job where he or she would like to go "Regular" at, Station 14 would be in most firefighters top 5 list of now 32 stations to pick from. If you get the privilege to meet or talk with any of the retirees from Station 14 you will get some "Back in the Day" stories that will make you wish you were on the job at tac 14 back then....

Memorial of J.C. Smith
In Memory of
WARREN J.C. SMITH
Private Smith, a 28 year old, 5 year veteran of IFD and member of Tactical 14 was participating in dive training exercises at a local quarry. Private Smith and his company were simulating the rescue of a drowning child in 70 feet of water. Private Smith had been a certified team diver for 2 years. Private Smith failed to surface with his buddy and rescue attempts were commenced immediately. CPR was started in the water and continued during a boat ride to shore. Paramedics from a local rescue squad provided aid, and Private Smith was transported by helicopter to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Private Smith died of barotrauma, a condition caused when a diver rises to the surface of the water too quickly and suffers internal injuries as a result of gas expansion during the ascent.
Brother Smith, Your a True Hero to us all, Gone but Never FORGOTTEN!!! You are missed.
