The
Fishers Community Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1955. The Fishers Fire Department is now municipally owned and operated. It provides service to the citizens of Fishers and, through contractual agreements, Delaware and Fall Creek Townships. Funds are provided through these contracts along with property tax revenue, EMS user fees, and supplemental donations.
The department currently has 124 full-time personnel, including staff positions of Chief, Deputy Chief, Division Chiefs of EMS, Fire Prevention, Training, Program Development, Support Services, and Communications. Five civilian office staff assist with record-keeping and other administrative functions.
There are three shifts, each operating for 24 hours at a time. Each shift consists of a Battalion Chief, Captain, Lieutenants, and Firefighters with EMT or Paramedic training, covering five stations. Each category of personnel has a minimum training requirement based on the Indiana Firefighter Certification Program and the National Fire Protection Agency Professional Standards.
The Fire Department is experiencing phenomenal growth as is the Town. We are currently operating five stations. To properly meet our
mission statement and properly serve our citizens it is essential we remain proactive and have the foresight to plan and build as needed.
