Pawtuxet Volunteer Fire Company

Not to be confused with the Pawtucket Fire Department, a city north of Providence.
==History==
The Pawtuxet Volunteer Fire Company was founded in 1891, making it the first organized fire protection in the City of Cranston. They were one of four volunteer fire companies serving alongside the career Cranston Fire Department, until their disbandment in 1995. The department, along with the Fiskeville, Meshanticut Park, and Oak Lawn Volunteer Fire Departments; closed their doors after over a century of volunteer service to the people of Cranston. Their first due response area is currently protected by the Cranston Fire Department.
