The Prescott Fire Department is a volunteer department with a staff of 40 active members.

The Prescott Fire Department is under the direction of Bill Dravis, Fire Chief.

His Assistant Chiefs and their positions on the department are as follows:

Tom Lytle Assistant Chief - Tom's primary responsibility is Administration of the Fire Department in the Chief's absence.

Greg Goehring Assistant Chief - Greg's primary responsibility is the training of the Fire Department Staff.

Dennis Eaton Assistant Chief - Dennis's primary responsibility is the Safety of the Fire Department.

Mike Sterud Chief Engineer - Mike's primary responsibilities are the maintenance and operation of the trucks, equipment, and supplies the Fire Department uses.

Because the Chief Engineer's job is such a huge one, there are three engineers that work with Mr. Sterud.  The officers and their jobs are as follows:

Donny Johnson Engineer - Maintenance and operation of 12 fleet vehicles.

Eric Johnson Engineer - Small engines, extrication tools, and Rapid Intervention Team

Mark Hudak Engineer - Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) this job has all the masks the fire fighter wear, to the SCBA the fire fighters wear into a fire, to the machine that fills the air tanks.

The Fire Department also has three captains that take command roles on scene as well as other duties. These officers and their job duties are as follows:

Paul Johnson Captain - training of 40 firefighters.

Lynn Johnson Captain - pre-plans - there are many businesses, apartment complexes, etc. in our service area and we have a pre-plan for each one of these in the case of an emergency.

Chad Johnson Captain - rural fire officer - The Prescott Fire Department covers 54 square miles of area and 12 miles of river way. This officer is in charge of pre-planning this area.

The Prescott Fire Department has two major fund raising events each year and several minor ones. The Job of coordinating these events falls to Richard Olson activities director.

The Prescott Fire Department has a secretary/treasurer to keep track of the business of the Fire Department.  This responsibility goes to Dan Olson.

The Fire Department is required by state law to do fire inspections on all multi-family dwellings, commercial buildings, and industrial buildings.  This job falls on the fire inspector. Matt Knott.

We also do a large amount of community education. The department has Mark Fiedler taking care of our public education.

There are many other jobs that happen in the background also, too many to write on this page. I would take this opportunity to thank the entire department.  If it was not for them none of this would be possible.
