Plainfield Fire-EMS is staffed by resident volunteers with years of combined firefighting experience. The Department provides first-in fire, light rescue, and EMS services to the town of Plainfield, with standing mutual aid assignments to the towns of Ashfield, Cummington, Hawley, Windsor, and Savoy.
All firefighters are CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) and AED (automatic external defibrillator) certified, and trained as Medical First Responders or higher. At present there are five staff EMT's available for call at all times. Several of our firefighters have received specialized training in the areas of wildland firefighting, SWI (structural-wildland interzone), mountain rescue, ice and water rescue, fire prevention and fire investigation.
If you are interested in joining Plainfield Fire-EMS, stop by the Public Safety Complex any Thursday evening at 38 North Central Street at 7pm.
