The Pleasant Plains Volunteer First Aid Squad was started from the Pleasant Plains Volunteer Fire Department. The fire department was organized in 1926 by local citizens. After many years of growth and hard work from the members, they grew into a sizeable and respected department. In September of 1959, it was discussed and decided that the Pleasant Plains needed a rescue squad. Members of the fire department and ladies auxiliary and local citizens signed up for first aid courses. The new group was called the Pleasant Plains Volunteer Emergency Rescue Squad. A new GMC Panel truck was bought for the rescue squad. It was received in July 1960. Several years later the rescue squad separated from the fire department and became the Pleasant Plains First Aid Squad. It still serves the community of Pleasant Plains and surrounding area today.
