The Centerville Volunteer Fire Department
was established in 1840. The name was changed in 1996 to Centerville
Fire/Rescue. We were the first Wayne County Department to
offer First Responder medical service to our community. We have a Class 6
ISO rating in areas with hydrants and a Class 8 ISO rating in the remaining
areas. Mutual Aid agreements are in place with the all Wayne County Fire Departments.
Currently we are a member of the IVFA (Indiana Volunteer Firefighters Association)
and the Wayne County Firefighters Association. We are a proud department and
are continually striving to serve our community to the best of our ability.
If you have any questions about our department, please contact us. Feel free
