was founded in 1959. We are
located at 501 West Washington
Street in Centenary, Indiana. We
work out of one station covering
over 40 square miles.
We, as a group of volunteers, want to educate and
protect our family, friends, and neighbors to the best
of our ability. We want to have the best training and
the most up to date equipment available to be able to
accomplish this goal.
Our goal is to teach safety and to help prevent tragic
incidents, but when one does occur we want to be
ready to help anyone when they have a fire or any
kind of accident.
We want our training to be above standard, we want
our equipment to be the state of the art. We want to
give our very best when someone calls for help.
The fire tone rang.....FIRE! Adrenaline, excitement, the love of the challenge
Sirens wail and it comes into sight, Flames and smoke rising into the night. All
geared up, ready to save, ready to fight. Hose in hand - heads straight for the
danger. He kicked the door in - knew just what to do The fire and smoke
pouring out- He tucked his head down and dove in. They tried so hard to find
him- But the fire was just too strong- We lost him in this round - the fire had
won. He gave his life doing what he loved- But way too young to die! Our
gentle giant is now at peace- Now to save lives he will use wings! How to go on
without him- He touched so many lives- But we know that only comes in time-
He's up there with his mamma now. Smiling down on us - dimples and all! Too
young to go - we have to let go- But we all miss and love him so!
When I am called to duty, God
Wherever Flames may rage
Give me the strength to save some life
Whatever Be its age
Help me embrace a little child
Before it is too late
Or save an older person from
The horror of that fate
Enable me to be alert and
Hear the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out
I want to fill my calling and
To give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect their property
And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
Please bless with your protecting hand
My children and my wife
