Fire Department
The origin of Danville's Fire Department reaches all the way back to 1869. Since those early days when a handful of volunteers would team up to fight a fire with a horse-drawn cart, the department has evolved into a professionally trained and well-equipped organization consisting of Paid on Call, Part-Time, and Full-Time personnel. All Danville Fire Department personnel are trained as Firefighters and Emergency Medical Service providers.
The Danville Fire Department provides fire protection services for both Center and Marion Townships. Averaging between 1,500 to 2,000 calls for service a year, the department continues to meet the demands of a growing community with continued dedication and increased efficiency.
