About
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.
As of August 2017 we have a Class 4 ISO rating within the Town of Centerville limits and a Class 4X ISO rating in outside the Town limits. Areas that are 5 miles or more from our station, within our jurisdiction, have a Class 10 ISO rating.
Mutual Aid agreements are in place with all Wayne County Fire Departments. We are a member of the IVFA (Indiana Volunteer Firefighters Association) and the Wayne County Firefighters, Inc. We are a proud department and are continually striving to serve our community to the best of our ability.
