- Statistics or key data
East Madison Fire Territory was formed on January 1, 2022, combining the Chesterfield Union Township and Richland Township fire departments in order to provide improved services for our area of Madison County, Indiana.
East Madison Fire Territory has a first-due coverage area of 47 square miles, responding to cover a mix of residential, commercial and agricultural areas. The department covers all of Richland and Union Townships including the town of Chesterfield, as well as providing automatic aid to Lafayette Township and Adams Township fire departments, and the cities of Anderson and Alexandria. In addition, EMFT provides mutual aid to the remaining eight departments in Madison County. The department responded to 2165 calls in 2021, 2,611 calls in 2022 and we expect 2023 to be even busier. The department is home to the Madison County Hazardous Materials Team and provides haz-mat response as part of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security District 6 Hazardous Materials Team, which responds to 13 counties in Central Indiana, covering over 4,400 square miles and serving a population of 640,000.
EMFT consists of 11 paid full time and 74 part time firefighters, paramedics and emergency medical technicians.
