Band History

The Safe & Sound Squad, whose membership consists of career firefighters and specialists serving with the Lafayette, Indiana Fire Department, formed in 2005 after spending several years collaborating to write, perform and record their debut CD titled There's Safety In Numbers, released in September of 2005.

Prior to the formation of the Safe and Sound Squad, all of the band members performed in a group called the Fire House Band. The Fire House Band has performed for elementary and pre-school aged children since 1997. To date, the band has educated over 60,000 children in fire and life safety.

On September 28, 2001 the Fire House Band, including all of the members of the Safe and Sound Squad, released a CD entitled Stop, Drop and Roll. The overwhelmingly positive response to the CD completely took the band by surprise. The additional exposure brought about by this CD release led to numerous requests for public performances. Unfortunately, the band was unable to accommodate all of these requests and this is what ultimately led to the formation of the Safe & Sound Squad.

The Safe and Sound Squad remains dedicated to educating children about fire and life safety issues through the universal language of music. The Safe and Sound Squad members have received many testimonials over the years from parents and teachers, reporting that their children and students are more "safe and sound" as a result of having attended one of the shows or having listened to Stop, Drop and Roll. These reports humble and motivate the Safe and Sound Squad to continue to seek out just "one more" child and/or family who can be helped to avoid the needless emotional and physical suffering brought on by child injuries.
