Preston Fire Department (Ontario)

==History==
The Town of Preston was located in what is now the northwestern portion of Cambridge, Ontario. Organized firefighting in Preston began around 1844. By the time of amalgamation, Preston had become a composite department with a full-time chief, deputy, fire prevention officer and 7 firefighters, supplemented by 18 volunteers.
In 1973, Preston was amalgamated with Galt and Hespeler to form a new City of Cambridge. The Fire Department became part of Cambridge Fire Department.
