The mission of the Operations Division is to provide quality, cost effective emergency and non-emergency services to all citizens and visitors within the City of Seminole and the unincorporated service area of Pinellas County, while maintaining the safety of response personnel.
The City's Fire Rescue Department has been designated an internationally accredited agency by the Center for Public Safety Excellence, and has earned a Public Protection Classification rating of 2 by the Insurance Services Office. The Department is responsible for responding to calls for medical emergencies, fires, hazardous materials incidents, technical rescue incidents, and providing medical coverage for community events. The Department operates from four fire stations strategically located throughout the community. The City employs sixty six firefighters, twenty-five of whom are paramedics, who staff four Advanced Life Support (ALS) engines, one Advanced Life Support (ALS) squad, one Basic Life Support (BLS) 105 ft. ladder truck, and one District Chief vehicle.
The City's Fire Rescue Department participates in the countywide Pinellas County Hazardous Materials Response Team (PCHMRT). This team is made up of personnel from five fire departments throughout Pinellas County. Our organization provides some of the staffing and command staff for this team. Through a partnership with the city of Madeira Beach, the department provides contract fire protection services for the towns of Redington Beach, North Redington Beach, and Redington Shores through an inter-local agreement.
The Assistant Fire Chief oversees all field operations and manages the Operations Division. The firefighting and medical services force is divided into three shifts of twenty-two employees. A District Chief manages each of the three shifts and a Lieutenant manages each crew. During 2007 the Pinellas County 911 center transferred 10,601 calls for assistance to our Fire Rescue Department. Seventy-four percent (7,791 incidents) of these service requests were for medical assistance while the remaining twenty-six percent (2,810 incidents) were related to fire alarms, fires, hazardous materials responses, public assists, etc. Many incidents require multiple units to respond. The current service area includes approximately 80,000 residents and covers twenty-four square miles.
The men and women of the City of Seminole Fire Rescue Department take their jobs and individual responsibilities seriously. Their dedication to excellence keeps the Department's performance among the best in the State of Florida.
