Our Purpose
To provide a Community, Conference, and Education facility.
The emergency services industry is one that relies very heavily on training, certifications, and continuing education. Our staff is constantly being educated in areas that are vital for them to perform their job and save lives.
This new facility houses a modern education center and a community gathering place, which will double as an emergency shelter in times of need. This facility will not only be for the use of Princeton Rescue Squad, but for the community.
Additionally, the facility is an Authorized Pearson VUE testing center so individuals from numerous professions can complete certification testing without the need to travel to other cities. Finally, this facility has been designed to give our community the capability to host conferences locally instead of booking activities outside of the area affording many opportunities professionally as well as personally.

A Word From Our CEO

"Hello, and welcome to the Princeton Rescue Squad: Education Department website! We are very proud to be introducing a modern education center in 2020 that will serve a vital role in the continued growth of Emergency Medical Services for our community."
"In addition, we are very excited to provide an Emergency Shelter that will have the capability of housing up to 200 people in the event of a disaster. During times when the building is not used for this purpose, it will serve for the betterment of our society as a community center for local civic organizations, little leagues, churches, and other groups." "It is an exciting time at Princeton Rescue Squad!" |
