ANOTHER STATE AGENCY INVESTIGATES ABINGTON VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

(Abington, IN)--There is another development now regarding various investigations into the Abington Volunteer Fire Department.  Township Trustee Steve Kaiser is already under a criminal investigation involving a fabricated letter used to secure a donated fire vehicle from an Ohio department.  Now, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security is actively investigating another Abington firefighter based on accusations that he falsified records to obtain an EMS certification.  This now makes three separate investigations by multiple agencies into the department and the advisory board.  Abington’s advisory board meets late Wednesday afternoon.
