Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District

The Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District (FMBFCD) is dedicated to providing the highest level of service possible to the community it serves. The fire district currently provides a wide variety of services to an ever expanding and diverse population. These services include fire suppression, hazardous materials mitigation, paramedic services, fire prevention and public education. We continually strive for ways to better improve our delivery of service and meet the specialized needs of our community.

One of our biggest priorities is the prevention of fires, accidents and injuries before they occur. This is accomplished through fire prevention, building code enforcement and public education.

The Public Education Office of the Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District (FMBFCD) is housed in the Fire Prevention Division and overseen by the Fire Marshal. Personnel are primarily responsible for fire prevention and life safety education as well as outreach services in the District.

FMBFCD offers a wide variety of community education programs. These programs are designed to prevent injury and or property loss through increased education and public safety awareness. Community education programs may be modified to meet the needs of the intended audience.

Some of the programs currently available include the following:

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

FMBFCD currently provides training for members of the general public to become certified in CPR by the American Heart Association.

First Aid

Fire Prevention Week

Fire Prevention Week programs encourages children and families to take an active role in preventing home fires and the injuries and deaths they cause, by conducting home fire safety inspections and preparing and practicing home fire drills. FMBFCD takes a proactive role to ensure the message of fire prevention is spread throughout the year and especially during Fire Prevention Week.
