Do you want to know what makes #SugarCreekTwp a special place? THE CITIZENS Today we had the sweetest visitors. The Bag Ladies Quilt Guild stopped by to drop off handmade quilts for children. These quilts were handmade by these sweet ladies for children to use in times of crisis and need. The Bag Ladies meet at Cross of Grace Lutheran Church which is located behind our Firehouse on 600 West. These quilts will be on our Medic units and will provide comfort to children in times of need. It takes a village and we are so lucky to have residents like them. Pictured are Shiela Baker and Nancy Hunnicutt of the Bag Ladies Quilt Guild. Thank you ladies!! #SugarCreekTwp #AroundNewPal #hancockcountyindiana

Today marks a special day in SCTFD history, at this very moment firefighters are all moved in to the new firehouse. A Shift and the rest of the firefighters from Station 42 spent all day moving in to the brand new state of the art facility. While there is still some work left to do. It feels good to be home!!! There will be more details about the new Firehouse in the coming days and weeks, including an opening ceremony that we intend to share with our community. STAY TUNED #sugarcreektwp #hancockcountyindiana

Today, after 38 years of dedicated service to the citizens of Sugar Creek Township, Battalion Chief Terry Hulen is serving his last shift. Chief Hulen started his career in 1980 and has served in nearly every capacity on the department. Chief Hulen was our first career firefighter and his retirement will leave a hole in our organization. On behalf of the men and women of the SCTFD , we wish you well in your retirement. You’ll always have a seat at the table brother. #onefamily #AroundNewPal #sugarcreektwp #hancockcountyindiana
Our little buddy and Fire Chief at the North Pole Fire Department, Chief Bunkers the Elf showed up with some decorations from Santa. The wreath is lit up with clear LED bulbs but Bunkers has orders to change the bulbs to red if we have a fire in the Township. Bunkers has been checking our facilities and ensuring they are safe. He has orders from the big guy to remind everyone to be safe this Christmas!! (Bunkers said it been really busy at the North Pole Fire Department so that is why he was late in his arrival to Sugar Creek) #sugarcreektwp #hancockcountyindiana #AroundNewPal #BunkerstheElf
