It’s been nearly 10 months since Hurricane Ian impacted our community. Your fire district has been working without skipping a beat to protect our community. Not only did our stations endure water and wind damage, but so did some of our fire equipment.

We are approximately 80% complete in repairing what was damaged. Some of those damages include replacing station roofs, siding, mitigating water damage, replacing signage, replacing equipment, etc.

Fire personnel at the main station (Station 1) located at The Center are still operating out of a single-wide trailer until Station 1 is completely fixed. All the repairs are expected to be completed within the next few months.

Funds to cover the repairs to the stations and equipment were covered by the district’s insurance. We are rebuilding together as a community.
