Yesterday, our Truck 1 crew, made a visit to the City of Bloomington Animal Care and Control facility. They were able to visit with "Gumby" and "Boss". Here is their information...stop by and take them, or one of the many others, home!! ❤️

Our cat is Gumby, a 16 year old senior DSH who we believe spent much of his life on the streets. While he is doing well in our care, he does have some medical needs. He is FeLV+ and should therefore only live with other FeLV+ cats or without other cats. He is looking for a cozy spot to nap, but really very little else. His long legs are the star of the show in every photo of him being held; he’s always doing a big stretch! He is full of purrs and is truly happy just to be warm and receive affection.

Our dog is Boss, a 6 year old GSD who we believe is mostly deaf. He seems to know this is a good thing, because it means he can nap in peace! He meets new humans well, especially if they have treats! He is also one of our helper dogs, which means he is used in a lot of our dog intros to see who is dog social. He is generally very neutral and moseys through the yard checking out every smell. He is a leaner and loves being petted as well!

Firefighters are often the first to run toward an emergency. The knowledge, training, and courage required to save lives and property in extreme situations demand significant time, commitment, and financial investment.

Bloomington’s official trick-or-treat hours are Saturday, Oct. 31, from 5:30–8:30 p.m.! Grab your costume, bring your flashlight, and let the candy quest begin!

Remember to stick to homes with porch lights on (no spooky surprises), rock some bright or reflective gear, and keep a flashlight or glow sticks handy. Little monsters under 12 should have a trusty adult sidekick, and everyone should keep their heads up when crossing streets.

Drivers, please slow down; there will be plenty of pedestrian traffic. Take extra time to look for children at intersections, on medians, on curbs, and behind landscaping.

Have a safe, sweet, and spook-tacular Halloween, Bloomington!

Thank you for thinking of our crews!!

This week the Hudson Plumbing team rolled up to City of Bloomington, IN - Fire Department Station #1 with breakfast in hand, because that's just how HUDSON MAKES IT HAPPEN for the people who show up for us every day. Firefighters run toward the hard calls, so the least we can do is show up with some coffee and Chic-Fil-A. Grateful doesn't even cover it, and we're proud to call Bloomington's finest our neighbors.

Recently, we had the chance to donate lunch to the Bloomington Fire Department! We’re grateful for the firefighters who serve the community every day, and we were happy to send over some free pizza as a small thank you. ❤️
