Fire Department Ends Service to Fax Line, Reallocates Resources

In Porter County, Liberty Township Volunteer Fire Department says as of April 1, 2025, it no longer has a fax line. The department said it’s part of ongoing efforts to modernize communication systems as well as streamline operations, and those funds will be redirected to enhance critical services. The public is encouraged to use other communication methods, including email and phone calls, for any inquiries or administrative business to the fire department. “We are excited to embrace digital communication and better serve our community,” said Shannan Duncan, Corporation Treasurer. “By discontinuing the fax service, we are able to reallocate those resources to areas that will have a greater impact, such as funding a new communication service that is critical for our firefighters, updating equipment, and maintenance for our emergency vehicles.” For more information, call the Liberty Township Volunteer Fire Department at 219-926-5215.
