The Johnson County Professional Firefighters Union Local 4252 may be relatively young as an organization, but the heritage surrounding our history is steeped in long-living hard work and tradition.

White River Township Fire Department decided to organize into the International Association of Firefighters in 2003. The name of our union at the time was the White River Township Professional Firefighters, Local 4252. In 2008, the career members of the Greenwood Fire Department decided to join in and we changed the name to the Johnson County Professional Firefighters Union, Local 4252. In 2010, the career members of the Bargersville Fire Department joined.

We have also included the opportunity for all Civilian Paramedics and the potential of our 911 Dispatchers as well.
