Morgan County, Indiana Sheriff's Sergeant Dan Starnes lost his life in the line of duty on July 10, 2001.  To keep his legacy alive, his wife Janice started a blood drive in Morgan County later that year.

The drive has been held each year since -- and has grown bigger each year.

In 2007, Mrs. Starnes asked for the drive to go statewide in honor of Dan and all of Indiana's fallen officers.  The Sergeant Dan Starnes Memorial Blood Drive then became known as the Indiana Fallen Officers Blood Drive and became a statewide event.

Some facts regarding the drive:

It is with deep regret that we notify you of the line of duty death of Eaton, Indiana Volunteer Firefighter Jay C. Maddy.

Firefighter Maddy and members of the Eaton Volunteer Fire Department had responded to numerous arson fires since Wednesday evening -- 21 in less than 24 hours.  A curfew was imposed and a "fire watch" was established.  Several hours after concluding his duties, Firefighter Maddy was taken to a hospital with chest pain.  He died a few hours later.

Firefighter Maddy was 41 years old.  He is survived by his wife and two sons -- ages 14 and 15.

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Please keep the Maddy and Eaton Fire Department families in your thoughts and prayers.

NOTE:  Two suspects have been taken into custody in connection with the series of fires.  Eaton is approximately 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis.
