Fire Suppression Operation Functions

The District responds to a wide range of emergency incidents, including all types of fires, medical and trauma emergencies, vehicle collision, special operation incidents, and public service calls.

Emergency Medical Services   2010 marked the 10th year of providing non-transport advanced emergency medical care. There are currently eight units serving Bonita Springs, including four engines, three rescue units, and one ladder truck. All apparatus are staffed with both EMTs and Paramedics.
Fire Suppression   The Suppression Division maintained staffing levels of 3 battalion chiefs, 24 lieutenants, and 53 firefighters, for a total of 80 personnel; 37 paramedica and 43 emergency medical technicians.
Urban Search & Rescue  Urban Search and Rescue response teams are designed to provide a coordinated response to disasters in urban environments. Florida task Force 6 is available 24 hours a day, locally or nationally. The task force can be mobilized once an affected disaster area exceeds their own response capabilities.
Apparatus  View your Fire Districts well maintained vehicles. The District's preventative maintenance program has dramatically reduced costs while improving reliability and safety. This program located at Bonita Springs Fire Station Five, has allowed us to come substantially under budget.
Special Operations   In the past year, special operations members completed training in several areas including structural collapse, trench rescue, water rescue, hazardous materials, and joint training with Florida Task Force 6- Urban Search & Rescue.
