Department careers page ↗The City of Vincennes Fire Department protects the city proper in southwestern Indiana, pairing structural firefighting with emergency medical response under the motto "Our Brotherhood Proudly Protecting Your Neighborhood." The department is staffed entirely by career firefighters rather than volunteers, a scale that reflects Vincennes' role as the seat of Knox County.
Beyond emergency response, the department runs a fire-prevention program built around residential smoke-alarm education and code-required inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) of fire alarm and sprinkler systems in commercial buildings, tracked through a third-party compliance vendor. Chief Bret Bobe leads the department from its Vigo Street headquarters.
Operations are spread across four stations positioned around the city rather than concentrated at a single house, giving the department overlapping coverage from the historic downtown core out to the city's northern and eastern edges.
