Princeton
Fire Territory The City of Princeton is located 26 miles north of Evansville along US-41 in Gibson County. In January 2006, Princeton and Patoka Township merged into a single Fire Territory. The combined department now includes 4 stations that provide Fire, Rescue, Hazmat and BLS protection to nearly 15,000 residents and 70 square miles. PFT is also second-due for all incidents at the huge Toyota pickup plant south of the city. |
