Fire protection for Coopertown is provided by one of the finest volunteer fire departments found in Tennessee, Pleasant View Volunter Fire Dept. Coopertown has a fire station located on Old Coopertown Road that is manned by the Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department. Every two years a new contract is negotiated.

Donation letters go out each fall and are due by the end of the year.
