SDIS 36 (Service Départemental d'Incendie et de Secours de l'Indre) is a French governmental fire and rescue service operating under the statutory monopoly established by the French law of May 3, 1996, responsible for fire prevention, firefighting, emergency rescue, and civil protection throughout the Indre department in the Centre-Val de Loire region.

Specialized operational teams cover diving, rope rescue, rescue-demolition, and technological risks.

The service is funded primarily through departmental council budgets and state contributions, with emergency services provided free to citizens; non-urgent interventions such as wasp nest destruction are charged according to annual board-deliberated pricing.

Digital infrastructure includes DispoWeb 36 staff portal, Systel Alerte Web dispatch system, SINUS victim-counting tool, and an interactive public mapping tool for locating stations.

SDIS 36 participates in national vehicle procurement mutualization through UGAP and engages in international cooperation via the Ministry of Interior's FSP-APCA program, training firefighters in West African countries including Benin. Leadership comprises a board presided by Serge Descout (president of the departmental council) and operational command under Colonel Thierry Lahoussoy, Director of Departmental Fire and Rescue Services.
