The Kensington Fire Department held its annual meeting for the Kensington Fire District on March 10, 2026, at the fire hall in Kensington, Prince Edward Island. The meeting served as a chance for local residents and property owners to elect officers and discuss the future of emergency services in the area.
Members of the community met at the station located at 16 Gerald McCarville Drive to review a new property tax rate proposed by the department’s board of directors. This rate, often called a mill rate, is used to fund the department’s operations for the town and nearby rural neighborhoods. Information about these services is managed through the Town of Kensington municipal offices.
Looking ahead through the rest of 2026, the department is prioritizing community safety through new fire prevention programs and specialized training for its members. The Kensington Fire Department also plans to move forward with several equipment upgrades to ensure the team is ready for emergencies.
To help reach these goals, the fire district is actively looking for new volunteers to join the department. These new members will support the ongoing mission of protecting the local community and providing essential emergency response services.
