Protecting Aboite and lake townships

The West Central Fire District was formed in 2023 to provide fire and emergency medical protection services to residents in Aboite and Lake Townships in Allen County, IN.

West Central Fire District is committed to community health and safety. We understand the devastating impact of opioid overdoses and are pleased to offer Narcan, a life-saving medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Narcan is available for free to residents at our fire stations. We encourage anyone who may come into contact with opioids, whether personally or through a family member or friend, to stop by a fire station and pick up a Narcan kit. Our firefighters and medics can also provide training on how to administer Narcan in case of an emergency.

Get ready for a day of fun, learning, and community spirit! The WCFD Public Safety Day is returning to Fort Wayne on Friday, September 27, 2025, from 11 AM to 3 PM. Join us at our fire station, located at 11321 Aboite Center Road, for an exciting event packed with activities for all ages.

You'll get to see thrilling fire demonstrations and tour our ambulance and fire trucks. Don't miss the impressive Allen County Sheriff K9 demonstration or the valuable disaster preparedness tips from the Red Cross. Kids can learn about bike safety and much more!

All that excitement is sure to build an appetite! Grab a delicious bite from the Salsa Grill food truck or the Gotta Have It! food truck. If you're looking for a sweet treat, cool down with a refreshing snack from the Whip 'n Chill truck.

We can't wait to see you on September 27th for a day dedicated to public safety and community enjoyment!
