October is Fire Prevention Month! Keeping your home and loved ones safe doesn’t have to be complicated. Just remember 3 quick daily habits to prevent fires and stay prepared.

1️⃣ Test Smoke Alarms Monthly – Press that "test" button and make sure they're working! Replace the batteries twice a year.
2️⃣ Charge Devices Safely – Modern devices use powerful batteries. Never charge phones or laptops on beds, couch cushions, or under pillows. Keep them on hard, flat surfaces where they can breathe!
3️⃣ Practice Your Escape Plan – Know two ways out of every room and establish a safe meeting place outside.

Take a few minutes this week to go over these with your family!

Our crews put their skills to the test. A roof rescue using a ladder truck extricating a patient suffering from a medical emergency or a traumatic injury.

This exercise brought together multiple disciplines that must work seamlessly in real-life emergencies our community depends on when seconds count.

Tremendous effort by the crews! We appreciate your dedication and expertise!

Service • Honor • Tradition

Thank you to the local business leaders, community partners, community members, and first responders who joined us in Immokalee on Tuesday to celebrate the groundbreaking of Fire Station 31. It was a rainy start to the day, but the clouds cleared just in time for us gather for this exciting milestone.

The new station will replace the existing facility located on Carson Road, which has served our community since 1978. This project is being made possible in part through $6.5 million in state appropriations, with tremendous support from Senator Kathleen Passidomo and Representative Lauren Melo, who have championed this project.

We would also like to thank Representative Yvette Benarroch and the staff representing the many elected officials who joined us at the ceremony for their support of this investment in Immokalee.

Stay tuned for future project updates!

Two little lives saved, one unforgettable rescue! 🚒 🐾

What started as a typical afternoon thunderstorm, quickly turned into a rescue mission!

2 baby raccoons on a roof had become trapped inside a downspout but were freed and reunited with mom!

Awesome job! 🚒 🦝 💪

🚒 TRAINING: ROOF RESCUE 🚒
Our crews recently conducted Roof Rescue training, focusing on different techniques and methods for safely removing patients or victims from elevated roof areas.
This hands-on training allows our firefighters to practice the skills, equipment, communication, and teamwork needed when faced with challenging rescue situations.
Training like this helps ensure our crews are prepared to respond when the unexpected happens. We don’t just train for the routine calls — we train for the situations where preparation can make all the difference.
