Firefighter
Train to respond, learn the trucks and the tools, and stand the line beside people from your own town. The department provides the training. You bring the willingness to show up.

In an emergency, always call 911. This crew is your neighbors.

The place they protect
A small town at the door of a big state park.
Marshall sits in western Parke County, Indiana, where State Road 47 meets the entrance to Turkey Run State Park. The park draws visitors to its sandstone ravines and the banks of Sugar Creek, and the town is the gateway they pass through to get there.
Covered bridge country runs all around it. What that means for a fire department is simple: a handful of trained neighbors cover the homes in town, the farms and roads along the creek, and the steady stream of people headed to and from the park. When something happens here, the people who answer live here too.
- 100 percent volunteer. No career staff and no paid-per-call roster. Everyone here serves on their own time.
- Station 101 W Guion Street. The department is based right in the town of Marshall, IN 47859.
- Gateway to Turkey Run. A local crew watching over Marshall and the Sugar Creek corridor.
The volunteer trailhead
Follow the blaze. Join the crew.
A volunteer department is only as strong as the neighbors who step up. There is more than one way to serve, and you do not have to have done it before.
No experience required. We train you.Support crew
Not every role runs into the work. Keep the equipment ready, help manage a scene, and handle the logistics that keep a call moving. No firefighting required to make a real difference.
Cannot serve right now? The simplest way to back a volunteer department is to know it exists. Follow Marshall VFD on Facebook, and when they put out a call for volunteers, share it with a neighbor who might answer.
