According to the evidence that was presented by Battalion Chief Rita Reith of the Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD), the former fire chief kept in constant contact with the IFD (IFD). He was a familiar presence at IFD events, and for nearly two decades, he served as the keynote speaker at the annual appreciation ceremony held by the department. According to Reith, Halton had scheduled himself to attend the IFD’s new training academy’s ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, and he was quoted as saying that he was “ecstatic” about the fact that the department was obtaining a dedicated center for training.
“He was a wonderful champion and friend of the Indianapolis Fire Department and the City of Indianapolis,” Reith said of the man. “He was a terrific friend of the city.” In addition to this, Halton was a close associate of WISH-TV, and he made several appearances on the morning program Daybreak over the course of several years.
