EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - The Evansville Fire Department is showing off its newest and cutest officer, K9 Indie!

Firefighters say she alerted crews to the presence of accelerants at a house fire.

Tuesday, her handler Patrick Moore showed us how he trains Indie to do that. He says so far, she’s doing great.

“I’ve had her a month and I’ve trained her right at 1000 times in a month,” he says. “Every time we do that, it’s just like a repetition - if you were a basketball player, it’s like shooting free throws, just do it over and over and over to get better so every day we just get better. We get better as a team. She knows what I want and I try not to get in her way.”

Moore says he’s thankful for the community supporting the program.
