MISHAWAKA, Ind., Marh 19, 2025 – The City of Mishawaka and Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) are reminding the public of work being done on high voltage power lines at the Pricket Marina Dog Park.  Out of an abundance of caution amid an ongoing project, a temporary fence has been installed to separate the active construction area from the usable part of the dog park. The Pricket Marina Dog Park has remained open to the community and pets since the safety fence was installed. The southern portion of the dog park is currently open, while the northern half will remain closed through early summer, weather permitting. Safety is paramount, and dogs and their owners must not enter the construction zone at any time.  Regular patrols of the park are ongoing to ensure the public’s safety.  During the duration of the project, we must mandate that community members stay out of the active construction zone and keep your distance from workers and equipment for your safety.

Grateful Citizen Expresses Gratitude for Extraordinary Mishawaka Fire Department – EMS Care

Thankfully, we have never had reason to call for assistance for Mishawaka EMS services.

Until last month, when a frightening calamity at our home, required immediate 911 call. We soon heard the distant reassuring sound of sirens. On the way to our rescue in a few minutes, the EMS vehicle was at our front door, while in a company vehicle stated the street with emergency lights flashing.

The team that came to the door, confidently focused on proper lifesaving, first response steps, putting our minds somewhat at ease. As they loaded the injured person into the vehicle, they gave us clear instructions for what needed to be done to prepare and secure the household for departure to the hospital.

We learned later that the personnel were:

Engine one, from station one Lieutenant Ryan Smith, Randi Sotelo, Clay Price

Engine 2, from Station 2, Jared Norton, Ryhs Howell

We have been fortunate to live in Mishawaka, under the administration of fine, very capable mayors. Mayor Wood, your own service has led the City to Unimagine heights of excellence in the great range of pursuits. But we have never had reason to so specifically and unforgettably know what is required to save and protect our people.

Now that we do. Thank you!

Yours truly,

Betty from Mishawaka
