The Plainfield Fire Department has created a new scholarship to help District 202 high school students looking to major in fire service, public safety or medical and emergency services. The Chief John Eichelberger Public Safety Scholarship will award $500 annually to four District 202 students who live in the Plainfield Fire Protection District. The scholarship honors former Plainfield Fire Chief John Eichelberger, who retired in 2015 after 40 years of service to the department.
