Jefferson Township
Volunteer Fire Department

The small village of Pleasantville is located 70 miles west of Indianapolis along IN-159 and the Sullivan/Greene county border. The department was established in the late 1940's and is possibly the smallest and most rural department in the state. The 6 members of JTVFD responded to only 26 runs last year. JTVFD provides Fire, Rescue and First-Responder Medical protection to 600 residents and 36 square miles.
