Chad Hiner, a 19-year veteran of the Fishers Fire Department, has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant.  The promotion was effective June 7th, when Hiner was presented his Lt. shield and helmet by Fire Chief Steve Orusa.

Hiner has been an “acting officer” for fill-ins since 2012, and is a paramedic, special rescue team member, hazmat tech, and is part of the community paramedicine team on his days off shift.

Lt. Hiner is also the director of the “Firefighters Fathead Challenge,” a trivia night sponsored by the Hamilton County Firefighters Local #4416 union that raises money for firefighter families with special medical needs.  That program is anticipated to be back by March of 2023.

The new lieutenant’s initial assignment is Engine 391, located at Station 91 in the Nickel Plate Amphitheater.
