Full-time fire department at your service

On Sunday, July 2nd, 2023, Prior Lake Fire Department's first full-time firefighters will be housed at Fire Station 1 and ready to provide round-the-clock service. After a rigorous application process, 12 candidates were selected to serve as the city’s first ever full-time firefighter/EMTs. The addition of full-time staff has been years in the making, and there are several reasons why the city needed to make this transition.
