I have enjoyed working with the South Walton Fire District as Commissioner of District 2 since May of this year.

During this time, I have come to know our dedicated, well trained Fire Chiefs, Administrative Staff, and most all of our 87 Fire Fighters, EMTs, and Paramedics. I have visited our five fire stations many times and been impressed with how professional the operations of SWFD are run.

In order to keep the public aware of what our Fire District does, I intend to publish each month a synopsis of what we have done.
In September our District Command Center received 1709 calls. We responded to 17, fires 237 Medical calls, 4 Hazardous conditions, 21 service calls 34 Good intent calls, and 38 False alarms. As one can see most of our responses are medical in nature. Most of these are for our visitors.

Our Beach Safety operation made 21,177 contacts of which 16,693 were visitors. Prevention is the key to loss of life in dangerous Rip Currents.
If the public has other questions about our operations, Chief Rick Talbert told me he would we willing to respond to the public. He can be contacted at (850) 267 3294 or at swfd.org

Thanks, Tom, for this report. All of our interactions with SWFD have been very positive. We did not know, however, that they were such a busy organization.
I am happy to endorse Tom for election to the Fire District Commissioner district 2. Tom brings a great background of working with people and with the law to this task. He will continue to be an ethical, tireless public servant.

I wholeheartedly agree with the the above comments and endorsement of Tom for election to the Fire District Commisioner District 2. Tom is clearly the correct person for this position.

I'm curious where Tom stands on business licenses? The other candidate is Pro.

Hello Tom and keep us informed of SWFD!!!

Teresa, I want to thank you and the staff at SoWal for providing a facility to get out my word.

I also want to thank the voters of all political persuasions in South Walton that returned me to my seat on the SOUTH WALTON FIRE BOARD. This truly proved to be a non partisan election.

I look forward to working with my fellow commissioners, Chief Talbert and his fine staff, and all of the dedicated, professional fire fighters, EMTS, Paramedics and life savers that make up the SOUTH WALTON FIRE DISTRICT. I am committed to assist our organization to continue to provide the best services available to our residents and visitors.

I will work with Fire Marshal Sanchez to keep our community aware of District activities through SoWal.
