Welcome to the Town of Lincoln, RI Firefighter and Rescue Association website. The Town of Lincoln, RI formed a full time 24 hours a day Emergency Medical Service in February of 1980. The founding members decided to join the International Association of Firefighters soon there after.
At that time Rescue 4 out of Station 4 was run 24hrs and Rescue 2 out of Station 2 was only staffed 12hrs, 0700-1900 and by call-men from 1900-0700hrs. In July of 1997 the Town hired 8 more EMT-Cardiac’s to staff Rescue 2 for the full 24hr shift. In 2004 Station 4’s (Lonsdale) 4 career firefighters joined our union. Station 2's (Albion) 3 career firefighters joined the union in August of 2005. Station 5's (Saylesville) 2 career firefighters joined in February 2006.
Today the Union is 25 active members strong with 5 retired brothers. We do approximately 3,600 runs a year. These runs consist of ALS and BLS medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, fire alarms, structure fires, and numerous other hazards or situations.
The rescues are staffed with a rescue officer and a cardiac level EMT. We also have 2 Paramedics on our staff. Our rescue trucks are stationed in the Albion and Lonsdale Villages of the town. |
