2011: Knight Township Closes Due to Lack of Funding

December 1, 2011

On December 2011, the Evansville Fire Department officially took over emergency runs in Knight Township, but before the torch was passed Knight Township fire fighters responded to one final call. The Knight Township Fire Department had been answering emergency calls in Evansville for the past 28 years, but their doors are now closed because of a lack of funding. The department had began as a spur of the McCutchanville Fire Department in 1983. McCutchanville purchased Engine 6 as a reserve engine when the departments assets were put up for sale.
