Center Grove Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1973 by five community members: Ronnie Reynolds, Robert Krack, Vernon Poe, Robert Thomas, and Paul Caves. They had approximately 20 department members. On January 7th, 1979, the fire department suffered a fire that destroyed the building, as well as two trucks and equipment. The members did not give up; they constructed a new building and purchased equipment. Today, Center Grove Fire Department has as a member the last surviving founding member, Robert Thomas, who is still active with fire calls, medical calls, and training when able to attend. Robert has held several positions in the fire department, including Chief. Robert was the first member to obtain his EMT certification.

🔥 FIRE CAN SPREAD IN 4 WAYS!

Fire can spread even without flames directly touching nearby objects. Understanding how heat travels helps us recognize fire hazards.

4 WAYS FIRE CAN SPREAD:

1. Direct Flame Contact – Flames directly touch and ignite combustible materials.

2. Conduction – Heat travels through materials, such as metal pipes, beams, and other solid objects.

3. Convection – Moving hot gases and smoke carry heat through rooms, stairways, and openings.

4. Radiation – Heat travels across a distance and can ignite nearby combustible materials without direct contact.

⚠️ FIRE SAFETY REMINDER:

Flames don’t have to reach another room for it to become dangerous. Heat and hot gases can spread ahead of visible flames.

Understanding how heat transfers helps firefighters anticipate fire spread, protect exposures, and make safer decisions during operations.

Know how fire spreads. Know how to prevent it.

Last night and today Members from Center Grove VFD, Shaw VFD, Palestine VFD, Cain Creek VFD were training on Emergency Driving. This training is very crucial to the Fire Service. We need to be able to avoid Obstacles while making sure we all go home safe and keeping the general public safe. Although the majority of us have taken this class many times in the past. We always need to make sure the truck you are driving you are driving safely.

đźš’ $6 DIESEL IS HITTING CENTER GROVE VFD HARD

Our engines take 50-60 gallons of diesel. At today's prices, that's over $300 just to fill ONE truck.

On a fire, that engine stays running at high idle to power the pump the entire time we're fighting to protect your homes and property.

Center Grove VFD is all volunteer - we depend on YOUR fire dues to keep trucks fueled, equipment maintained, and firefighters ready.

Please make sure your dues are paid - monthly on your water bill or yearly.

Thank you for supporting the Pride of the East Side. When you need us, we'll be there. đźš’
