Pittsboro Fire is known to be a leader in fire service response and training. Our community is uniquely positioned to respond to everything from the common EMS run to fire and rescue calls which include industrial, agricultural, commercial, mid-rise, and residential. We train for and respond to both hydrated and non-hydrated areas. We also respond across Hendricks County to nearly all special operations calls as a member of the Hendricks County Rescue Task Force. Our Tanker 111 is assigned to all fire runs. Our part-time program is an essential part of our strategy to keep up with a community that is set to grow very quickly in the coming years.
