Winter emergencies in Indiana
Indiana's cold winters bring waves of emergency calls during the first deep freeze and every arctic front after it. Expect longer waits during regional cold snaps. Calling early, when the house first starts losing heat, helps.
Lake-effect snow in the northwest and long gray stretches below freezing keep furnaces running for months.
Rural Indiana homes on propane or oil should watch tank levels during long cold stretches; a run-out looks like a broken furnace, and propane systems need a leak check before relighting after a run-out.
Major population centers where emergency calls are routed include Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend and Bloomington, along with rural ZIP codes statewide.
