The city, Logan Township and Washington Township are the owners of the Melbourne Volunteer Fire Department. The volunteer fire department has been part of the history of our town since its very beginning. From the early days of the “bucket brigade” until the present time, the department has changed and grown with the community.
Phone number is 641-482-2070, however, this phone is for messages only. This is a volunteer department and is not manned at all times. For any emergency, call 911.
