The Pleasantville Fire Department continues to serve the Village of Pleasantville and also its fire protection district. Members respond to over 400+ calls a year. PFD works out of two fire stations: Headquarters and “Station 2” Daniel P. Hays Hose Co. Firehouse. Our department is a non-profit organization made up of 100% volunteer members.

How the Department Functions

While we all work with a common goal, every operating unit in our department has an area of specialization.

• Our two pumpers, Engine 91 and Engine 90 have primary responsibility for securing a water supply, locating the source of a fire and then suppressing it, “Getting the Wet Stuff on the Red Stuff!”
• Tower Ladder 5 handles “Roof Work,” such as ventilating a roof to let smoke and heat escape from within a building, as well as conducting searches for victims, and then getting them out safely.
• Rescue 47 carries the “Jaws of Life,” equipment used to free victims trapped in car crashes and is prepared to deal with a host of other emergencies.
• The Junior Corps, for the members under 18, gives the youth of Pleasantville an excellent opportunity to learn teamwork skills and mature into responsible, community-focused adults.
  

Make a Difference and Help Your Community

You may have enjoyed watching our annual parades in May and June, or taken part in our December holiday celebration. You may have seen us in action, responding to an emergency – a house fire, an accident, downed wires during a storm, a CO detector warning residents of imminent danger, or an assist to anyone in their time of need. You may have been on the receiving end of our services and experienced first hand the value of what we do. Whatever the situation, you have seen us rise to it, time and time again. We will continue to be there and so can you!
