Our fire district is located five miles south of Indianapolis, Indiana and serves 30,000 residents within 71 square miles of Johnson and Morgan County in Central Indiana.
The Bargersville Fire District is a fast-growing blend of urban and rural area creating a unique community to work as a first responder.
Our firefighters and paramedics answer calls from three fire stations strategically located to provide the fastest responses possible. Throughout the decades, BCFD has taken a progressive approach to assuring our community receives the best response available.
While the Bargersville Community Fire Department retains our roots in the town, our fire protection district’s boundaries reach far beyond the town’s limits.
The Bargersville Community Fire Department started with the creation of the Bargersville Men’s Club in 1941. Dues were $10 a year. The Club originally met at the gun range across from Umbarger & Sons grain Elevator on Old Plank Road.
The name was soon changed to the Bargersville Community Association. In 1954, the association became the Bargersville Community Volunteer Fire Department.
The Bargersville Fire Protection District was established in 1992. Since then, the department has grown from a volunteer fire department to a career/combination department with more than 80 employees.
