The origin of Center Township \ Danville 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 Center Township \ Danville Fire Department  provides fire protection services for both Center and Marion Townships.  Averaging close to 2,500 calls for service a year, the department continues to meet the demands of a growing community with continued dedication and increased efficiency.
