The Prescott
Volunteer Fire Department has been serving the town of Prescott
and the surrounding area for over 130 years. The department currently provides
a wide range of services to the community from fire protection and prevention
to search and rescue and an annual Santa Claus parade. The 25 members on
the department are also trained in accident scene management and heavy hydraulic
rescue equipment (Jaws of Life), services most often used on Highway 401.
The Fire Prevention committee provides education programs to local schools
and youth organizations as well as fire inspections and training for area
businesses. All members of the department are trained in ice and water rescue
techniques, necessary for situations arising on the St. Lawrence River.
