Mystic Volunteer Fire Department

We were able to assist with a structure fire in Centerville this morning.

Mystic firefighters were initially assigned as a back up crew before completing a secondary search of the home. The crew, along with other firefighters, continued extinguishing hot spots before determining the fire was extinguished. They then assisted with ventilation efforts before reloading equipment and clearing the scene.

We are very pleased with being able to work alongside the other departments in our county. We have spent many years working together to develop great work relationships.

🚒 Structure Fire Response 6/6/26 🚑

During the early morning hours of June 6 2026, Centerville Fire & Rescue responded to a residential structure fire within the city limits. The Centerville Police Department arrived first on scene and provided valuable information to responding firefighters regarding fire conditions within the structure.

Upon arrival, fire crews found fire and smoke coming from the residence and immediately began suppression efforts. Due to the close proximity of a neighboring home, mutual aid was requested early in the incident from several neighboring fire departments to assist if needed and to help ensure the fire did not spread to nearby structures.

Thanks to the quick actions of responding personnel and our mutual aid departments the fire was extinguished rather quickly and crews were able to contain it to the involved structure. Firefighters then conducted ventilation and overhaul operations to ensure all remaining hot spots were located and extinguished. No neighboring structures were damaged.

The incident remains under investigation.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Centerville Police Department for their assistance and support during this incident. We would also like to thank Cincinnati Fire Department, Moravia First Responders, Mystic Fire Department, Centerville Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary and Alliant Energy for their rapid response, cooperation, and support.

Thank you to our community for your continued support of the Centerville Fire Department.
