Preston Fire Department

Preston Fire Department Serving the Preston area since 1895. The Preston Volunteer Fire Department is an organization that is comprised of 35 dedicated volunteers.

Since 1895, Preston has operated a successful and effective volunteer fire department. We rely on the dedication and commitment of our firefighters who are all members of the Preston community. Firefighters are required to participate in extensive training regulated at federal and state levels. Many of the required safety and health mandates are achieved only at the expense of the volunteers thems

elves such as purchase of protective eye wear, or donation of parts and labor on fire department vehicles. We are proud to be a fully operational volunteer fire department serving our community for over a century. The Preston Volunteer Fire Department is directly responsible for the protection of lives and property in an 86 square mile area. We also have direct dispatch with a neighboring department which covers 100 additional square miles, totalling almost 200 square miles of direct responsibilty. We further aid other surrounding departments covering almost two full counties in the State of Iowa. The Preston Volunteer Fire Department resonds to approximately thirty emergency calls each year. Due to our community education programs for children and preventative fire inspections of businesses this number is kept rather low. We work hard to serve our community to ensure the safety of life and property within our community.

Last night we spent the evening working on vehicle extrication techniques with Genesis Rescue Systems tools, practicing the skills needed to safely and efficiently remove patients from heavily damaged vehicles.

Vehicle accidents rarely give rescuers a textbook situation. Every vehicle, impact, and patient presents a different challenge. That’s why hands-on training is so important. Our members practiced multiple techniques for stabilization, glass management, door and roof removal, creating access points, and making space for patient removal.

Extrication isn’t simply about cutting a vehicle apart. It’s about understanding where to cut, where not to cut, how the vehicle will react, and how to create the safest path to the patient while working alongside EMS.

A big thank you to Genesis Rescue Systems for working with our members and sharing their knowledge and equipment! Training opportunities like this allow us to try different techniques, learn what our tools are capable of, and be better prepared when someone in our community needs us.
