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. We currently have ATR (Automatic Tanker Response) agreements with Abington,
Cambridge City, Greens Fork, Williamsburg, and Webster Fire Departments. Mutual
Aid agreements are in place with the same departments as well as the Richmond
Fire Department. 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 to browse around our site. Thanks for visiting
and check back often for updates!
