Message
from the Medical Officer, Lt. Randy Kraus…
Welcome
to Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District’s
web-site. As
Season approaches, we realize our population
drastically increases with our part-time
residents. Together with our year-round
residents, our rise in our senior population is
where we notice the biggest increase. As a
Department, our highest call volume includes
seniors and falls. We would like to offer two
web links to help this population with some
issues they may face.
The
first is a fall prevention program offered by
the State of Florida. This informative web page
offers tips that seniors may implement in their
personal life and at home to help prevent falls.
Senior Fall Prevention
The
second is a national program called Silver
Alert. This may be helpful for those who have
family members who may suffer from Dementia and
Alzheimer’s disease. We hope these links offer
some useful information.
