Following in his father's foot steps being involved with the Pleasant Valley Fire Department, Chief James Lagassie now leads the fire department. His leadership skills and values are just a small part of what Chief Lagassie brings to the members at the fire department. His commitment to safety and training leaves no question what his values are.

Pleasant Valley Fire Department was founded in 1956. The original fire department was built with donations from the residents of Barkhamsted. The land that the fire department sits upon was donated by William Fuller Sr, who was also a founding member. The building was constructed by the founding members. In 1997 a long awaited addition to the fire house was completed , giving the department more apparatus space, a classroom, and an office for the Barkhamsted Fire District that was much needed.
