We’ll do our best to make our way through as many neighborhoods as possible, but please understand that we may not be able to visit every street.

Your Donations at Work! Thank You, Prospect!

Last year, one of the goals of our Annual Fund Drive was to raise enough money to purchase new Paratech Vehicle Stabilization Struts to enhance our vehicle rescue capabilities.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to make that goal a reality!

Last night, our firefighters completed their first in-service training with this new equipment, practicing how to stabilize overturned vehicles during rescue operations.

These struts allow our firefighters to quickly and safely stabilize vehicles involved in serious accidents, creating a safer environment for both trapped occupants and emergency responders.

This is a perfect example of where your donations go and the direct impact they have on our department’s ability to protect our community.

As a volunteer fire department, we rely heavily on the continued generosity and support of our residents and businesses to help us purchase equipment like this.

From all of us at the Volunteer Fire Department of Prospect, THANK YOU!
