Rensselaer Volunteer Fire Department Mission Statement:
"A call of duty in the preservation of life and property through the delivery of services and programs, by an assemblage of professionals seeking opportunities to serve by embracing change in addressing the diverse needs of our community."

The Rensselaer Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1896, making it one of the oldest, continually operating volunteer fire departments in the state of Indiana. In the 1950's, the Rensselaer Fire Department combined services with the Marion Township Fire Department to provide more efficient coverage for all residents. All City of Rensselaer and Marion Township firefighting equipment is housed in the fire station located at their new facility at 1060 W Clark St.

In 2003, the City of Rensselaer Fire Department joined with the Keener, Remington and Wheatfield Fire Departments, to form the Jasper County Firefighters Association. This association was formed so that all of the departments could work more closely together to provide better coverage to all of Jasper County. In 2005 this association, with the generous financial support of businesses and individuals, purchased a state-of-the-art Fire and Severe Weather Safety Trailer. This trailer contains the necessary functionality to simulate a fire, as well as severe weather conditions, in a controlled atmosphere. Used as various functions throughout Jasper County, this trailer provides a valuable means for training both children and adults, alike.
