In 1946 the residents of the Hamlet of Salt Point petitioned Pleasant Valley Fire District Chief George Cady Sr., The Fire Commissioners, the Town Supervisor Cecil Sherow, and Highway Superintendent Vince Gleason to form a Fire Company in the Hamlet of Salt Point. This was granted and the Salt Point Vol. Fire Co. was established in the old P&E Railroad Station on Cottage Street, in Salt Point NY, with their 1st meeting held on June 16, 1947.
The Pleasant Valley Fire District is committed to saving lives, suppressing and controlling fires, providing emergency medical services, providing fire prevention education, hazardous materials response, water/ice rescue, public assistance during natural emergencies and other activities as deemed in the best interest of the fire department or citizens of our community.
