Welcome to FloridaFD.com
When you hear the town horn, remember that our dedicated volunteers are rushing to help save a life or property of one of your neighbors--sometimes at 3:00 in the morning.

Our system is not unique. Across the country about 75% of all firefighters are volunteers. Their dedication is amazing. Calls come in at all hours of the day and night and these dedicated women and men drop whatever they are doing and respond rapidly and professionally to mitigate emergency situations.

If you have ever felt the urge to help your neighbors in their greatest time of need and build lasting relationships with other dedicated people like yourself, think about volunteering with your local fire / EMS department.

Volunteer firefighting / EMS not for you? That's ok. Please do us this one favor, however:

When you see a blue light - please PULL OVER!! It will only take a few seconds - but in an emergency seconds count!

A car with a flashing blue light is a volunteer firefighter responding to an emergency. The blue light is to alert other drivers that we are on our way to an emergency--it's up to other drivers to pull over and let us go by!

Please let us pass. It could give us the extra time to save a life or stop a fire before it's out of control. For a fire or rescue a quick response is always important!

In a few minutes these same people will be responding with a red light and siren.
