Fire & Rescue

EMERGENCIES DIAL 911

The Pownal Fire & Rescue Department supports a Fire Chief who is appointed by the Selectmen for a three-year term.  The Chief oversees the working of the Department.  This includes scheduling trainings, managing the budget, hiring staff, purchasing necessary equipment, and many other tasks that make for a well-run Department.

Within the Department, is the Fire Company, an entity that fund raises and provides support for the Department.

Pownal also has a First Responder Team who responds to medical calls.  Some members are trained as EMT's.  This Department periodically offers CPR classes for re-certification. The Rescue Department holds regular trainings to give members the opportunity to practice their skills and to work through a variety of scenarios.  Pownal uses Freeport Rescue for transport and all emergency calls are dispatched to the Cumberland County Regional Communication Center by dialing 911.

The Pownal Fire & Rescue Department always welcomes new members - either as fire fighters or rescue personnel, and all volunteers are needed and valued.
