The rural town of Folsomville
is located 30 miles northeast of Evansville in northeastern Warrick County along IN-261.
Formed in 1981, the FOTVFD provides Fire, Rescue and Medical First Responder protection to approximately 500 residents and 30 square miles in the Town of Folsomville and Owen Township.
Owen Township Volunteer Fire Department Station - Folsomville Road at Wright Street
After the department was formed in 1981, this station was built in 1982 and houses all four of their apparatus.
Engine 81 - 1989 Ford C/E-One Pumper - 1000gpm/750gal Purchased in 2006, this truck formerly served nearby Chandler as Engine 22.
Tanker 82 - 1979 Ford L/Ohio Twp VFD 200gpm/1200gal
This rig was purchased from nearby Ohio Township in 1997.
Engine 85 - 1979 Ford F-800/FMC Pumper - 750gpm/300gal
This rig was donated to the department by the nearby Alcoa Plant in 2002. Note it's unique hose bed that lays across the top of the rig with sideways access instead of the rear. This was likely designed to make it easier to pull hose in the tight quarters of the industrial plant.
