PHOTOS: When there's a problem to solve, you can count on first responders to come to the rescue. So when two Fishers firefighters saw some old fire hose on the bay floor, set to travel to a landfill, they put their helmets together to come up with a creative solution. Rob Demlow has been fighting fires in his Fishers community for 19 years. "The first airway that I held open, it was almost like, I knew where I was supposed to be," said Demlow. "It was almost like a God moment." His passion for serving his community is on display each time an alarm sounds when he is on duty. "My job and my place was kind of set at that point," Demlow said. For his longtime friend and firefighting brother, Scott Carr, being a firefighter was in his blood. He has served his Fishers neighbors with pride for the past 24 years.
