The Merrillville Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1958, the third fire department in Ross Township. The department’s first station was originally the Methodist Church built in 1874 that the department converted to a 2 bay station house. In 19** 2 more bays were added in the back of the building facing the side. In 19** a second station was built at 850 w. 57th. Ave. to better protects the north section of town. In 1981 a new station was built next door to the original to replace it. It is a 2-story brick building with 4 65-foot bays with 1 being a drive through. The original station was then taken over by the Ross Township Trustee for his office and is still in use today.
