EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - A fire department is a close-knit family, but perhaps few are closer than the McCutchanville Fire Department in Vanderburgh County.
On Saturday, fire department staff held a drive-thru chili fundraiser to remember fallen firefighter Jeremy Tighe, who died nine years ago in a fire truck accident on Saint Joseph Avenue.
McCutchanville Fire sold 70 gallons of chili in less than an hour Saturday afternoon. The money raised actually goes to first responders who may be suffering from health issues.
