The Shelbyville Fire Department has a rich history, originating in the late 1800s as a volunteer bucket brigade. Today, it stands as a professional and highly trained force with three stations, 60 dedicated members, specialized tactical teams, and state-of-the-art equipment. As the only provider of advanced life support EMS in Shelby County, the department remains committed to safeguarding the lives and property of the community. While much has evolved, the core mission to protect and serve Shelbyville and Shelby County continues to drive the department’s efforts toward excellence in care and protection.
