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
