Meet Jonathon Buffington, aka Buff, a dedicated member of our community and a true hometown hero. With 16 years of experience in the fire service and 10 years with LSCTFT, Jon serves as a firefighter and holds the rank of Captain at the Lapel Police Department in Indiana.
For Jon, volunteering to help his community is a calling he’s passionate about. “I serve my community because I like to help people,” he says. “When there’s work to be done and I’m able to help, I will. Serving a smaller community where you know everyone is a feeling that’s indescribable.”

In the event of a sudden cardiac arrest, an AED can provide a crucial shock to help restart the heart. You can find AEDs in many public places, but would you know how to use one if someone’s life depended on it?
